Restructuring of Drew Brees' contract now could create major headaches later

Well tell him of he doesn't he will never win other Super Bowl. Brady redid his to help the team, your telling me drew is that selfish?? He made over 50 million last year form endorments.

What in the heck are you talking about?

These resturctures have nothing to do with selfishness. In fact, players love it because instead of salary, you get it as a signing bonus.

As part of the restructure, Brady had his 2012 base salary reduced from $5.75 million to $950,000. The team then took the remaining $4.8 million, combined it with a $6 million roster bonus due to him, and gave him a $10.8 million signing bonus.
Brady doesn't have his salary reduced, he just receives the money in a different form.

I think we're blessed to have the number one quarterback in the NFL," Kraft said of Brady. "But let's also remember, that when he restructures his deal, he's getting a big bundle of cash up-front. But it is helping us create cap room."

What we are saying is it is pointless to restructure brees right now because it was already structured to backload his contract. What we could do is add another year to the contract and spread it out more, but I doubt we do anything with it.

When it comes to drafting on defense, I'll question Loomis all day.

But when it comes to taking care of Mr. Bensons wallet and managing the cap, Loomis "The bean counter" got this!
