falconidae Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 He just signed a 2 year deal for 44 mil. It'll be presented as a 5 year deal, but the deal voids after 2 years. The illusionary 3 years allow them to spread the cap hit out. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17486329/drew-brees-new-orleans-saints-agree-contract-extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Good! I want this team to take out Brees and Newton on their way back up the NFCS ladder! It also doesn't hurt that Brees is near 40 whose play will no doubt steadily declining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Falcon Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Brees is still one of the best but even he hasn't been able to save that porous roster in recent years. I think once they finally get their roster cleaned up, Brees will be ready to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEIST Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 NFL gonna go ahead and put us down for a MNF game in NO during Bree's farewell tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY created his success more than ANYTHING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezekiel 25:17 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Not a surprise... Figured Brees would retire a Taint and play about three more seasons anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stizz Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Incredibly excited for this. If they're as bad as I think they'll be this year, they won't have any inclinations in taking Watson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brees and the Saints are a playoff team, they'll renegotiate the deal, otherwise, they'll let him go, take a huge cap hit for one year, and start over. 59 minutes ago, stizz said: Incredibly excited for this.

Wow. Loomis just keeps pushing the pain forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 4 minutes ago, Jailbreak Blitz said: I worry he'll be outta here after 2017. Ryan is under contract til 2018. This is a good deal for the Saints and Brees. Brees gets no Franchise tag, no trade clauses, chance to make a clean break after 2017. Saints get cap room and control of the situation- they can re-sign him to a new deal before this one voids if they want, or just take a cap hit and let him leave. Glad they waited so they couldn't use the extra cap space in FA. Latest numbers being thrown around are a 30 mil signing bonus, which would mean 18 mil in dead money after the contract voids.

falconidae Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 4 minutes ago, WhenFalconsWin said: Breesus is good but he is in decline. The fact is he is hurting his teams ability to fill out the roster with quality players. Especially on defense. They got their one Lombardi at the expense of Breesus. Really hasn't been the Brees contract so much as missing on so many draft picks and overpaying FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 4 minutes ago, WhenFalconsWin said: IDK man, he has had a hefty contract throughout the last half decade. Yes, that played in to it as well. It's essentially like the Julio trade, what hurt was not so much giving up the top of two drafts, because Julio is worth that, but missing on the rest of the picks in those drafts.
