I’m no doctor, but between this and his other ventures, Drew could end up like Deuce rather quickly.


As of last year, on only contract earnings alone, brees has earned 181 million dollars over his career. Him ending up like deuce for dropping a mere drop in his bucket on some jewelry is silliness

That’s why I said between this and his other ventures (JJ’s/Walk On’s/etc.)

181 million minus agents fees and taxes means he’s probably taking home about half of that. He’s probably earned about 100 million after taxes and fees (including endorsements) in his career. 15% of your career net earnings just on jewelry is quite a healthy chunk.

Percentages dont work in these extreme cases though. Spending 15% of your money, and having 85million left over isnt really a big deal or crippling

His jewelry still has millions of value, all isn’t lost of the 15 mill

This seems so bizarre that drew would actually be into this. Late April fools gag or something?

How are you going to buy an 8 million dollar ring without an independent appraisal. WTF Drew? Gotta be smarter than that.



Agree.

That's an amazingly stupid thing to do for a smart guy.

I hope Brees has good security for his house... all the dindus in the city are going to want a piece of that collection now.

Yeah but am I the only one that never sees his wife in jewelry in pics.
I could be wrong but in the few pics I see of her here and there I never see her with big rings or earrings.
Something seems shady about this and I just can't buy that brews is that dumb.
There is something more to this that isn't coming out.
Why would he trust some shady jeweler just look at that guy.

Who said he's a smart guy? He can memorize plays and throw a football.

A jeweler marked up diamonds? Shocker! Every diamond I've bought, I've taken for an independent appraisal before I purchased it.

If you were to buy jewelry at that price wouldn't you insure it? If you were to insure it wouldn't the insurance company require an appraisal before the sale would go through?
