Will Drew be Next to Restructure?
When I was a kid the Bears signed Walter Payton to a lifetime contract. There wasn't a salary cap then. Would any of you be comfortable with Brees counting against the cap for the rest of his life? If not, for how long? Until he's 80? How many years do want him to extend his deal? Until he's 50? Do you understand that, short of a pay cut, or extending the length of his contract, doing a traditional restructure will make things worse? Do really want him to make things worse so that you can feel better about this season's cap number?
