Drew Brees signing price

Drew Brees is quite obviously the most important Saints player in recent memory, if not ever. He deserves to be paid a salary with the elite quarterbacks in this league.
That being said, how much do we expect him to demand? Is Brees going to fight tooth and nail to get every penny he can, or will he be willing to negotiate a deal that appropriately pays him for his value while also allowing the team to have a little money to use on other players, kind of like how Brady worked his contract?
In my mind, there is absolutely no way we let Brees walk. If that means making him the highest paid quarterback in the league, then I guess so be it. But what will Drew demand and what will he be willing to settle for?
Obviously no one knows with any certainty, just a topic for discussion.

He will be leaving for greener pasture. Y'all will be getting Bobby Hebert back

He gets what Manning/Vick/Brady got on average unless he decides he would like to be highest paid

I'd say 5yr.-$100 million is about right. $50 million guaranteed? Prolly renegotiate after 3 to spread some of the remaining money out. frick if I know

I heard he wants to get a piece of the Hornets..So he will need a few bucks
Posted on 1/17/12 at 9:00 pm to WDcajun
He will be the highest paid player in the NFL

honestly i think he will take lower than he will be worth so we could more players to win the super bowl again jmo
Posted on 1/17/12 at 9:03 pm to Sprung
50 guaranteed? Doubtful. I'm thinking around 36-38

Tom Benson should give Drew whatever he wants...I would give him a piece of the fricking team if he wanted it.

This.. but its not going to be significantly low. Brady and Peyton took less money to make sure ther was enough to bring in a quality roster, but its still going to be at least 5yr/$85-100 million.
That's just my opinion. ChewyDante and I are known for having opinions on the opposite ends of the spectrum so this should get interesting in a minute.

Why you trying to start stuff, bruh?
No way he signs for more than 2 years at under $80 mil.

His personality fits this.
I'd be surprised if he wanted to be the highest paid QB and shunned the team concept. He'll get his. They won't let him walk...for sure. JMO

He deserves what ever he ask for. The man saved this franchise and helped heal the region. Pay the MVP!!!!
Posted on 1/18/12 at 10:12 am to ChewyDante
He is such a stand-up guy, he does not strike me as one to be greedy. Yes he is worth more money than his current contract, but I don't think he is going to REQUEST an astromical number like Brady or Manning.

I'm guessing he could get $20 million a year from the Saints, but I doubt he'll ask for that much.
I'm going to say - 6 years @ $15 mill per for a total of $90 million.
And they'll probably sweeten by paying him another $1 or $2 mill per year after that as a Saints rep.
