re: Why do some care how much Drew makes

I think peeps care about pay should and will increase as the avg joe fan catches up with the world of the salary cap.

You can make a case that it isn't the team with the best players that wins most consistently. It is the teams that get the most bang for the salary cap bucks.

Brees is gonna be pushing over 15% of the entire team cap. Problem? No. It's a QB driven league that it only becoming stronger that way. Having one of the very best that is a surefire HOFer 15% sounds fine to me. Does he contribute more than 15% of what it takes for this team to win? Consider that and $15-20mil starts looking cheap.

If ya wanna know what a bad contract is consider Sanchez & the Jets. They're paying $55mil the next 4 years for that level of production. It would cost them $14mil of real money & cap to cut him.
