I dont underdstand how people can say this about him. The man is most likely getting together his last contract, why fault him for trying to get as much as he can and what he deserves. He know the frnachise needs money to keep pieces around him but it isnt as easy as people think. There are other ways to make room for more money to keep those pieces. In the end people will see that Payont and Loomis know that they are doing and will put the best team on the field to win.

He was going to get the same amount that Peyton was going to get, over 5 years. Saints wanted it back loaded and Drew wanted it front loaded. Back loaded serves the Saints' team. Front loaded serves Drew.

Guaranteed money is the issue. Drew wants more guaranteed money, which would put a strain on the yearly cap, but would guarantee an insane payday in case he gets hurt. The Peyton situation will probably make Drew inflexible on this issue. Somehow they are going to have to find even ground. Can't really blame one or the other imo. :fukkinfingerscrossed

I don't see how an educated person who knows how's to handle finances can say they need 24 mill instead of 18. He has already made enough money for him and his kids and grand kids to be set for the rest of their lives plus money he has made in endorsements. How much more do you need and is 5 mil that big of a difference when you have so money already. Is really worth losing key pieces in the offense and gaining new pieces on defense.
