No bigger than the Tom Brady and Peyton deals of last couple years. This is not unmarked territory... maybe for Mickey and Benson but frick... they have known for 4 years that this day was coming.
Its been a few years since Brady and Manning set the benchmark for contracts. Protocol says Brees should set the new standard for top QB contracts so I'd say it is unmarked territory. Yes they have known this day was coming but I'm sure they weren't anticipating the amount of money they would need to shell out to keep 3 of the best players in the league.

You are talking about Peyton when we say Manning correct? That was less than a year ago... if we go to uncharted territory of more than 23 million a year... we might as well trade Drew now cause that deal isn't getting done.

If they couldn't figure out which players were coming up for FA at the same time as Brees than I have way too much confidence in this front office and have been giving them too much credit.
