Drew Brees base salary this year: 2 Million dollars

Curious. Different people are reporting different structures.

When I did they math on the other version it worked out perfectly.

This version is a lot more funky. Is the roster bonus this year? How would splitting that make the cap work out like they claimed? This version isn't adding up (yet).

Edit:
Got it now.

So the "roster bonus", as said, is split over 4 years (so it does kick in this year). That adds $5.75 mil to the cap.

With the previous bonuses and new reported base salaries it does all add up right.

The only difference between this version and the other version is it gives us 1 more built in year to spread out a potential restructure next year.

That really does nothing for us if he retires after next year as it'd still all accelerate to 2022, but does give more flexibility if he decides to play in 2022 or potentially beyond.

So what does it mean for the next year? Will the saints be paying Brees a couple
Mill a year for a few decades or will the rest of all the “restructures” just hit the cap at once?

OTC shows
2020: $23.65M
2021: $36.15M
2022 & 2023: $4.6M each

I'd imagine if he retires after this year it'll be $45.35 in 2021

It means don't worry about the Saints salary cap because as far as Loomis is concerned, it's simply a suggestion...

That it's VERY realistic Brees plays. And being that the did 2 dummy years instead of 1, I think it leaves the door open for him to play beyond that if he chooses because it helps facilitate that better.

OTC is showing 4 million in dead money being paid to Teddy... Can someone explain this? Is this money we still owed him on his contract?
