Restaurants are horrible investment businesses. If you own a couple of them you may be able to make a nice living at about 200k a year but that’s only if you are very hands on. It’s not a type of business where you can just have someone else handle and make any money. He has those because he likes the food and wanted to bring it to New Orleans. It’s just fun for him. Probably doesn’t generate any real revenue. Not anything meaningful to him anyway.
I didn’t know we were privy to any other investments he may have.
I always hear about him and politics. He’s stated interest in it but hasn’t said anything about it being on a local level.

In addition to owning several Jimmy John's, Brees is also co-owner of the Walk-on restaurant chain. He is also sole owner of the lifestyle apparel company, NINE. He is also in partnership with the owner of Dunkin Donuts on 69 stores opening in New Orleans, Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Monroe and Alexandria. He is also a partner in Happy's Irish Pub. There are other ventures, as well.

He is adding more to his portfolio each off-season.

Look Drew Brees' previous contract, plus the cache he has with his NFL star power allowed him into the next club level where he can visit with guys like Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet...

The criticism I have right now for the Brees contract is that the Mickster should have seen Brees passing numbers more than a year ago and had foresight to make sure Brees was under contract when he passed Manning...

That would also have allowed the Saints to then take those cap savings and gotten us an elite Nose Tackle, taken Zeitler over Warford and/or another high-level LBer...

Drafts pretty much sucked balls until Jeff Ireland showed up - then things started improving in the personnel front...
