Not arguing that he isn't worth it. He is. More than anyone in the history of the organization. I'm just talking about legacy.

If Drew wanted to he could make up taking less money from the Saints with more endorsements. I'm sure there are countless business and products begging for Drew's face on their product.

I guarantee you 20 years from now we will remember Drew for his Super Bowl and records he has/had his name attached to, not his contract.

This is the same person that let his agent hold out on the contract to get more money. Yeah, no.

Not knocking him a person for doing that, football is a small window of opportunity. At the end of the day he is working for a living just like anyone else. It's a universal rule, no one is keen on pay cuts, why should he be?

Yeah, but you would want your legacy to be as a SuperBowl winning QB. I think Brees has loftier plans for his legacy with his political aspirations, which means the money does matter because it's not just more for the pile, it's more for the campaigns.
