re: Is Brees really worth the money he's paid?

Most people don't realize that there are other factors that go into deciding a players worth than just his exploits on the field. Kobe Bryant makes so much money because his jersey is the 2nd most sold jersey behind Lebrons. That adds up quick and good agents know this. Drew offers many more intangible things off the field than most star football players. He is a super intelligent and well liked human being. The fans flock to this guy. He is more than a football player and his contract is worth every penny the Saints are paying him.
