perhaps I should change my thread title- not sure if you read past first page but this thread was intended to be more about where do these huge dollar amounts on these contracts come from and what do agents use to justify them.. it doesn't make real world sense to me.. perhaps I am missing something.. it just seems like a racket agents have created -

Better thread when it was being discussed at the time.
Not so much when we are 0-3.

So you're saying you're thread questioning Brees status as an elite quarterback is actually about NFL salaries???

Without drew Brees, we never won a SB, without Drew Brees, we aren't an elite team, without Drew Brees, we don't stand a chance of going back, without Drew Brees the Saints just aren't the Saints. The man deserves his money. We can talk about how he doesn't when his performance starts slipping, but the man, dispite everything happening on and off the field, is still performing extremely well and has earned every dollar he got. As for what do agents use to justify them, did you see the list of records, or his performance since he's been here?

from the numbers side - brady smokes brees and it's not even close.. which made me wonder -
Oh yeah?
Brees has more wins over the previous 3 seasons than Brady. He has a SB trophy. Brady does not.
I'd be curious to see how Brady would do if HIS HC, his offensive Coordinator, the Assistant HC, and the GM were all suspended.

Joe Montana signed a 3 yr 10 million dollar contract with the Chiefs.
Drew's obviously about half the qb joe is.
Why the frick aren't we paying Drew like 1.5-2 million dollars a year to be our quarterback, anything above is ridiculously overpaid.

ok- again.. i am not saying brees should not be getting paid..
i am asking where the frick these agents come off with these record breaking contract figures year after year.. is it simply a supply and demand thing?
fwiw brady has been in the league longer than brees if i remember correctly..

right.. yesterday myself and few friends were talking leaving the game talking about the fact it seems almost inevitable brees is going to get hurt - did the size of his contract make the team have to make cuts that have in the end left him more vulnerable? and if so - why as a GM would you invest so much and not insure your investment was protected?
no, i posted this yesterday:
1. Sean Payton's salary has nothing to do with Drew Brees'. Benson can pay him whatever he wants
2. Drew Brees' salary has little to do with the saints talent on defense. You can blame Smith and Harper for that. We added 2 big free agents this year in Bunkley and Lofton. We obviously decided that they were worth more than an often injured Tracy Porter. We have 8 million in cap space left this year and Porter signed a 1 year $4 million deal.
3. The salary cap is set to increase with the new deal in 2015. Drew's deal adjusts accordingly.
4. meachem and nicks were out the door regardless regardless with what they are asking for. Funny people blame Brees but don't blame Nicks for asking for an insane amount of money for a guard. We were never going to tie up that much money in the guards, especially with Grubbs on the market. We haven't felt the impact of Brees' contract yet, but Loomis made it as pain free as possible

idk, super bowl MVP (one of the best performances ever), completion %, high TD/low int rate in the playoffs. Primetime performer, Most wins over the last 3 seasons, etc.

Every time someone answers this question you just discount their opinion and repost the question. So what exactly are you looking for?

it's no secret our defense is a total abortion.. what is being done to protect the investment.. so I get it.. salaries keep going up and when the next top tier QB's contract comes up then he will likely be the highest paid.
I simply looked back at QB ratings/stats over last 5 seasons and simply wondered how they put a $ amount on it..
I'm a huge saints fan but was trying to look at it objectively from a business standpoint..
example:
tom brady signed a 4 year 72 million contract in 2010 - one of the most impressive resumes out there
fast forward 2 years later to 2012 - drew signs a 5 year 100 million contract with an impressive resume - but no where close to brady (yet)

It's more than owe Brees X and look at your cap Y. It's also what he brings in indirectly as being a member of the team. Ticket sales. Merchandise sales. Marketing. Concession sales. And, on top of that, he's successful. So, the previous revenue streams get magnified as he helps the team win and gain popularity.
Every team has it's own Jesus. Drew Brees is our Jesus. You give him what he wants and that's that. I hate these retarded contracts like everyone else does. But would you rather not have Drew Brees? Or would you rather have Tracy Porter, Carl Nicks and a non-Brees QB?

Payton made him

Why did people jump all over the OP? The man simply stated a question. I'm not a saints fan but see Brees as one of the best in the game. I also understand his hardships but if he truly is the superstar as we perceive him to be shouldn't he have done more this season. Yeah the defense sucks but Brady and Rodgers both were able to overcome their terrible defenses last season. Rodgers also dealt with numerous o line injuries in his Super Bowl run. I still think the saints will be okay and brees is still a stud but I kind of see an Albert pujols situation here.
