He has the most team friendly contract in the NFL. Basically signed a 1 year guaranteed with a team option for 4 extra years. Every other QB not named Fitzpatrick and 90% of the NFL contracts guarantee franchise tag plus half of their salary for the second season.
7 years 175 million with 50 million Guaranteed would've still been a fair contract. It's still only a guarantee of average salary for 2 years, and the team can ask him to take a pay cut or release him without owing him anything the third year.
The media led everyone to believe he was asking for at least 60 million, and felt he deserved it.
I was wrong about him putting money over winning and questioning his values .Drew can come to my house and punch me 44 million times in the face. i deserve it.
If Drew was willing all this time to sign for 44 million guaranteed Benson should fire Loomis after the 1st game. Putting the greatest player in franchise history through the media scrutiny and causing fans to turn on Brees for asking for them to pay him what he would have been owed without an extension. Brees is the only QB that hasn't received an extension with 2 years left after they won a super bowl. he's had it happen twice.
Starting to believe we are one of the worst organizations at taking care of star players. Fans have felt Nicks,Graham, and Brees were greedy, but if they were signed to an extension with 2 years left like other teams their negotiations wouldn't have played out in the media.
