I agree. The deal gives him security of another year and he doesn't have to worry if his stock goes down or he gets injured.
A Qb like Brees would be dumb to play out his last year on a contract without an insurance policy in case he gets hurt.
It's a contract that could make him pretty trade friendly if the Saints were so inclined.
Don't listen to Guido, he is the biggest Brees fanboy I have ever seen.
