It's already been reported that the Saints wanted to sign him for 3 years... Taysom wanted 2.... I guess on that is... No one real;ly know what Brees will do... we all expect him to retire after next season.... we expected him to retire after this season... What if he decides to keep coming back as long as Brady does? Taysom wants to be a starting QB.... He had to get protection form that scenario. That's why the 2 year deal.
