Colin Cowherd just did a really nice few minutes on Drew. Tune in for the rerun if you can.

Brees apologized to Tom Condon? F**k Tom Condon!

I get it's Condon's job to get max for his client, but there's also success measured in other ways and that includes more endorsements for a repeat Superbowl winner...

Condon's made plenty at the expense of this team's AND Brees' success, so that MoFo is owed no apology; that's just Brees' good character...

Next CBA should have a caveat to allow for one true franchise player where his cap number doesn't break the team's ability to be competitive...

This!

This is what I was speaking of in another thread about Jimmy Graham. The player has the power, not the agent, and certainly not the NFLPA. Drew is a walking example of how to live.

This is a totally different case than Graham's agreeing to challenge the franchise tag designation for the NFLPA. Don't forget that Brees did the exact same thing as Graham when he agreed to challenge the secondary franchise tag issue for the NFLPA. In that case he did exactly what Graham did.

No, Condons job is to get money for Condon.

Not disagreeing with your proposal for a new Tom Condon greeting.. Just commenting that there a lot of layers to this contract and its value that we dont care about but others do.

- Condons compensation is dependent on the contract value. (This is where the greeting fits

)

- Drew's contract always has the potential to affect future QB contracts and QB Tag values.

- I am willing to bet that Drew feels obligated to get maximum value as part of the NFLPA's leadership.

- Lastly there is Drew getting what he wants for his family.

Now here is where we see things a little differently. While the size of Drew Brees's contracts has not helped the teams cap space in any way, and we can debate whether Drew actually met that contract value or not, I dont think anyone would say that we gained nothing from it.

Below is where the damage to the team was done; dead money and the contracts that made the majority of that. ALL of that as well as Drew's contracts, is on Loomis .... He inked every one of them and its Loomis's job to keep Condon from getting max value.

Dead Money
-$25M 2017
-$42M 2016
-$34M 2015
-$16M 2014

Tom Condon still has a chance at a mega $ QB contract. The dirty birds are negotiating an extension for Matt Ryan this offseason. Let's see if he can get $30 million a year.

I'm pulling for that to happen...

According to D. Orlando Ledbetter, there's a pretty good chance.

"The Falcons are hoping to sign quarterback Matt Ryan to a contract extension that will likely be six years and in the $180-190 million range."
