Soo your saying cam hamstringed the Panthers with his contract? Cam could have gotten way way more elsewhere it's a proven fact he is undervalued in terms of real contract dollars. I'm not saying brees isn't elite because he is I'm saying hed rather focus on dollars then wins....to each his own I just don't get all the brees love at the end of the day he's looking out for himself he's not the team first player he is portrayed to be 

Honestly Brees also could've gotten a lot more from the saints as well. He kindve did them a favor. How many teams have good rosters but suspect QBs, someone would've out bid the saints on the open market

I can't remember the exact amount but it was like between 42-47 fully garunteed the first 2 years....I remember it was like a cap hit of 23mill each year

That is probably not a bad deal for the Aints.

It's a weird 5 year deal that automatically voids after 2..?
It lowers his cap hit this year significantly. But apparently he can rape them again in two years. Not sure how much dead money they will have in years 3-5 if he retires/leaves.

All of the dead money from years 3-5 accelerates into year 3 if he retires or they don't extend him again before it voids. It's not that common of a tactic for creating cap space but the voidable years are something Gettleman did a ton of in his first few years when he renegotiated a bunch of Hurney contracts(Stew, Kalil, Gross, maybe TD as well) and it's how he signed Roman and Cotchery to give himself more room to work with.

No offence, but do we really need 2 Drew fycking Brees threads in the panther forum?

Mine isn't speculating a contract it is the contract.

I don't blame him, dude got paid what he's worth. He has to take care of himself first and foremost. Flacco did the same thing. Cam did the same thing. Wilson did the same thing. Rodgers, Rapistburger, etc. etc. Only QB that doesn't really get paid his market value is Brady because he values winning over all else plus his wife makes more money than he ever will. 

Brees is still an elite QB, I don't care what the misinformed huddle masses want to believe. The saints wouldn't win a game if he weren't their QB the past 2 years. He was 130 yards away from a 5th 5000 yard season last year, and he missed that one game against us. His regression is far overblown by this message board and I still absolutely hate playing him twice a year because he is the sole reason the saints are ever in a position to beat us. 

He's one of the best and is being paid like it, even in the twilight of his career. 

Your keeping it real. The truth. I hate New Orleans , but as a Panthers fan , got to give credit to him. He's absolutely one of the best in the game. #RespectBrees #hatethesaints
