Drew Brees Deal is Done!

Does that 50ml include the 18ml signing bonus that he was owed then?

If so he has effectively agreed a 32ml 2 year deal

That I’m not sure about. I’m under the assumption that the $18 million dead cap hit is just being kicked down the road and will hit when he’s officially done.

Hmm? Brees wasn't owed anything. That $18 million is simply cap accounting. Brees got all his extension money from the last contract when he signed it in 2016.

We'll have to wait for the details to see how long the out years are.
