by some in the media. According to this article he was offered 18.5 mil per year and a large signing bonus. He would have gotten the second largest "guaranteed money" in the history of the league. This would have made him the highest paid QB in the league.

His selfishness about the contract will begin to taint his "Saintly" image in this country if he is not careful.

Just sign the Damn Deal!!!!!!!

Once he signs the contract, he'll go back to visiting sick children and building levee's. I'm not worried about his image long term.

So who do we go after at QB?

Sanchez got a contract extension -- maybe we can trade for Tebow

I love DB and want him to retire a Saint more than anything, however I am siding with the organization on this one.

I really don't care what his image is around the country. My opinion is all that matters to me. As long as he's winning football games for us he's alright.

Im just going to ballpark these figures because honestly I do not know, but you'll get my point.

Tom Brady has made around, lets say, 90 Million over the past 6 years.

Peyton Manning has made around, lets say, 100 Million over that same span.

Drew Brees has made around 60 Million over that span.

And Drew Brees has been the most dominant QB and has had 6 of the best and the best years ever for a QB...

Not only that he pretty much brought the Saints up from ashes.

He's asking for basically 15 million in compensation for that...

fricking give it to him. He's been underpaid for 6 years.

Because of what the media thinks? LOL

Considering Manning got $23 over the 1st 3 years, that's too low. Plain and simple, just too low.

Drew Brees Looks very greedy at this point, he is killing the entire team, if we pay him what he wants the rest of the team will be shitty




i've been wondering how much of the contract negotiations are handled by brees... is it his agent thats dragging this out? is he in drew's ear telling him not to take the lower amount of money so he can get a bigger cut of it?

i'm not saying this is the case, but i surely wouldn't put all of this on drew
