With Carr getting 25mil per year, Drew is definitely going to ask for that and a little more.

Doesn't Drew have enough Jimmy John's and Walk On's?!

Why do fans bitch about the money they get, I don't blame them id get as much as I could also they are in the prime of their lives and career. Drew I'm sure will be paid what he's worth.

This cash strapped team can use every penny it can save to build a winning team.

I'm bet you're satisfied with a 7-9 team.

He's worth whatever the market dictates. The 7-9 team is 2-14 without Drew.

Yawn... standard response to anyone who doesn't freak out that one of the all time great QBs is expensive

because it is Drew's fault we've been dishing out shite contracts to everyone not named Drew that asks for them

(except for Ben Watson and Darren Sproles for some reason)

Biggest myth out there.

Pay Drew whatever he wants.

25mill a year is best case scenario for setting the QB market. I swear some of you people are mentally handicAp

Here's your Top 10 QB salaries for 2017
Colts QB Andrew Luck: $24.6 million
Saints QB Drew Brees: $24.3 million
Redskins QB Kirk Cousins: $23.9 million
Ravens QB Joe Flacco: $22.1 million
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers: $22 million
Seahawks QB Russell Wilson: $21.9 million
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger: $21.85 million
Cardinals QB Carson Palmer: $21 million
Giants QB Eli Manning: $21 million
Chargers QB Philip Rivers: $20.81 million

Where do you rank Brees in terms of production on this list? Top 5? Top 3? As long as we aren't committing to a long term deal and his play warrants a top 5 salary, then pay the man what he is worth.

Cool. Make Chase the starter and BAM! Super Bowl here we come.
Step two Saints pay NE 5 mil to give to Brady thus knocking them from contention. BAM! Saints win over the pats in Super bowl

He may not have won it but he did have a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl.

Per Google "Matt Ryan signed a 5 year, $103,750,000 contract with the Atlanta Falcons, including a $28,000,000 signing bonus, $42,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $20,750,000. In 2017, Ryan will earn a base salary of $15,750,000, while carrying a cap hit of $23,750,000 and a dead cap value of $10,400,000." LINK

Oh crap, Brees is worth too much money. We should just let him walk then so we can build a championship team.
