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

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.

Winning and making the playoffs last year was critical to renewing with Brees. As was last year's draft and the success of Kamara and Lattimore. There's a reason to keep the window open and try to win now. If Saints had finished with 6 or 7 wins it would have been a different story.

Brees was re-signing with the Saints regardless of whether the Saints won 11 games or zero games. He has said all along that he plans to play well into his forties and with all of those years being with the Saints. He said this for years and I for one believe him as he has never done anything for me NOT to believe what he says.

Like I said, if we had another 7-9 season he would be somewhere else as we speak. Payton bought himself some more time with Brees when he made the coaching changes and decided to commit to the run.
A bunch of teams have gotten a lot better this week. Hopefully we will continue to do the same.

I still disagree completely. Drew Brees and his family are firmly rooted in New Orleans. He would retire before leaving regardless of the Saints record. First and foremost, he wants to win more championships with the Saints. Secondly, he wants to break the all-time passing record (which will happen this season) and the all-time TD record (which should easily happen in 2019). At this point in his career money isn't the driving force it once had been. He is set for life. He has generational wealth. Now his family is the driving force. There is no way he is uprooting his family at this point. As I said, he would quit before doing that. If you haven't read both Brees' and Payton's books, do so. They both tell quite a bit how these two guys click.

They were discussing that fact earlier on NFL Network. They were saying that the next Saints QB may already be in the house.
