$181.7 M over 16 years equals just over $11M a year; at least try to do some work and put a legit argument out there if you are going to throw out the same old shite.

See, you're assuming that had he only been making $10 mil a year (which is criminal for a QB of his caliber) that the Saints front office would have spent the extra money wisely enough to make the team a contender.
Stop trying to say that Drew is selfish and makes to much. It's ignorant

This is such a tired arguement. What QB do you know worth a damn is making 10 million a year that is not on a rookie deal?
You dont want to pay for an elite QB than you better have an elite defense which we dont have
and just for a reference you have Joe Flacco making 22, Rodgers making 22, Wilson and Big ben making 21.
Its a horseshite argument that you cant have a QB making 20 million and win. Draft better and stop cutting guys a year after signing them to major deals. Thats our issue

I'd rather make $20 million/year as my paycut doesn't make the team draft better. It doesn't make FA signings better, etc.
This is a false dilemma that keeps being repeated on here.
The saints spent more money on defense this year than the Patriots by a long shot when you take in dead money.
Manning had a larger cap hit with the broncos from 2012-2015, yet they were able to surround him with weapons and build one of the best defenses ever.

If I were in Drew's shoes and I was making $20M a year and the team was still struggling I would consider restructuring and taking less. HOWEVER, when I see $12+M in dead money in 2015, $40M in dead money in 2016, and $9M in dead money n 2017 (before the cuts even start); I know my contract is not the problem and I will be inclined to continue to be paid a reasonable salary while the team fixes their own shite. I would be willing to bend so much.
But, with that said this entire discussion is pointless when you actually look at the big picture. Drew's cap hit in 2016 was $17.25M (which ranked 15th amongst QBs) and his cap hit in 2017 is set to be $19m (currently ranked 14th). So he has obviously already taken a cut and is now paid as an average QB in the league. His contract is not the issue

The team starts with 150mil to spend but because of poor management decisions can only spend 110mil. Yeah I'm not taking a substantial pay cut.

Or take an undeserved paycut and still go 7-9. Brady keeps winning and has a large salary for years now but that doesn't stop them from winning.
