Brees signs new deal

10.4 million cap hit for this year. Good deal worked out by people who know more than us about contract negotiations.

 

+1.

 

ESPN is reporting that 37M of Brees’ 40M 2012 salary will come in the form of a signing bonus. My understanding of NFL signing bonuses is that they are spread out over the entirety of the contract. I’m sure the Saints have structured the deal to minimize Brees’ affect on the salary cap.

 

More importantly, I can continue my Brees/Sproles PPR man crush going into the 2012 season! :tup:

Nice pay day.

 

The Saints may regret this if he gets hurt early on in his contract, but if he plays healthy for the duration they should be getting their money's worth. Me, I like watching him work so I hope he stays healthy.

 

This does limit the Saints options under the salary cap much the same as Favre, Manning, Brady, Elway to an extent have and as Vick, Rodgers and others are likely to do or are doing.

 

I wonder, since the Salary Cap, how many Q.B.'s have won a Suprebowl as the top paid guy in the league or as a guy accounting for 1/6th of the cap.

$100M 5 year deal and year 1 is only a $10M cap hit? NO may have created a 1 year window to win the SB (in the year when the bounty penalties are in place no less) because he's going to average $22+M against the cap the next 4 years. A lot of teams are going to have more room to sign quality FAs in that time. NO better have killer drafts for the next 4 years running.

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

How on earth did the pigeon get out of the other thread and into this one?

 

 

You know, I almost took offense to you two following me around and dragging your cute little circle jerk over here into this thread until I realized that this is probably the best you can manage in terms of contribution to a FF board. So I say have at it and amuse yourselves!

They could go blind! I know from experience. Fortnately I stopped, or at least lessened my frequency while I was only extremely nearsighted.

Let's see? I live in New Orleans. I am a rabid Saints fan. The 2 threads in question are both about Drew Brees, the QB for the Saints. The news of him signing is fairly big news here in New Orleans. These are pretty much the only 2 threads I have had the time or inclination to check in to.

 

Yup I would say that is definitely evidence that I am following the all important Bronco Billy around.

Let's ignore that last sentence, considering the evidence in the two threads you describe and the inaneness of the comments you posted while swinging from bushwhacked's sack and providing entertainment to each other.

 

I understand as a Saints' fan that you are greatly enthused about Brees signing a 5 year contract. How do you feel about the cap implications and the effect on the team after this season?

let's settle this like men, BB / tbimm - how fast you've gone on a motorcycle, i currently hold a speed record of 65 mph :bag:

 

:lol:

 

I haven't ridden in literally decades since pulling an incredibly stupid stunt and dumping a buddy's KZ1000 right onto myself. Viewing the epic level of my moranity in that event, I'll have to concede to Tbimm in this.
