Michael has never been a DIVA. EVER. He's just a stone cold killer on the field... like his teammates Brees, Cam and Kamara.

Well, he has a little DIVA. Let's not forget the flip phone incident...

But nothing that rises to the level of AB with the balloon or Jalen Ramsey with the money truck and the hype man. I just hope the team is ready for CGM's intensity in camp.

What SFIAH said. He hasn’t been near as bad as Brown, Moss or Owens but he is a little Divaish. Hopefully it doesn’t get that bad and I doubt it will especially under Payton.

He’s also the biggest smack talker in the NFL. I kind of like that.

Anther observation. CGM's contract is almost an exact mirror of Brees' record breaking (at the time) 2012 contract. Same years, same total, same guarantees. Now Brees gets paid in the upper $20 million range and we all marvel on how cheap a bargain he is when NFL QB salaries topping out near $35 million.

Much much better skirting the cap limit than have conexes full of cash and nothing to spend it on. God, I use to hate those days. Nobody wanted to play here. If they are worth it (which he is) pay him. Figuring out the spinning plate order is an easier situation.

I'm just going to say it - last year there were several times he reminded me of Jerry Rice. If my eyes are not deceiving me and his production continues to prosper as GOAT Jerry's did, this is definitely money well spent.

He is better than Rice in catch percentage. Nobody is even close in that dept. He's 85% money in the bank every throw which is insane.

Awesome news. It's a fair deal with his production and cheap rookie contract. Make him a Saint for life.
