Jesus. That is not what I expected them to do. I mean, it's what I expected them to EVENTUALLY do (push a shitload of dead cap into the post Brees retirement era), but it's a few years sooner than I thought.
The Saints are out of useful players to extend next season (Brees and Unger are taken care of). Jenkins, Lelito, Fairley, and Kruger are the biggest names.
Looking at Brees's contract structure, I think they told Brees that they would go all out in 2017 FA and hit the reset button in 2018, allowing him to get a nice contract elsewhere.
The contract kicks the can WAY more than I thought it would beyond 2017, so I don't expect Brees to retire a Saint unless we go deep in the playoffs/win a SB within the next 2 seasons.

If he is extended we won't be hit for $18 mil.
If he is not extended then that $18 mil won't hit us too hard since we wouldn't also be paying for a premium QB.
But I am curious why the acceleration is delayed a year (unless they just typed it wrong).
Edit:
As I said in the other post it looks like they did type the wrong year and 2018 would be the hit).
