Sources: Drew Brees, Saints agree

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement on a five-year, $100 million contract that includes a first-year take in 2012 of $40 million, according to league, players union, and team sources. For all practical purposes, the guaranteed money is considered by all parties involved to be an NFL-record $60 million, though there are contractual, but unlikely, outs for the Saints before he would receive all of that sum.

…Under the assumption Brees is the team’s quarterback for the next three years, he would make $61 million during that stretch, with $60 million fully guaranteed, the highest guaranteed total an NFL player has ever earned.


Praise Breesus!

OBLIGATORY DRAFT DAY POST

I kind of want New Orleans to be all:

“You know what… fuck it. We’re not picking anyone with our 26th pick in the 3rd round (89th overall). Instead we are going to take the money we would pay an up-and-comer and give it to Drew Brees.”

This Post Is About Football…

I understand the suspensions. I understand the fines. I understand that the team I root for is in an extremely bad way on many fronts and are facing an uphill battle to regain good face…

That being said: shouldn’t this filmmaker have gone public with the Williams’ tape earlier? It seems kind of fishy to wait until the day of the appeals to provide somewhat damning evidence… This strikes me as more of a ‘I want $’ than a ‘I want to preserve the integrity of the game’ type maneuver.

Unless, of course, the tapes had already been submitted to NFL HQ. But if that was the case then it stands to reason that this truly is a ‘doing it for the $’ action…

Not cool, dude. Not cool.

You have to understand this about Saints fans: they are some of the most loyal fans in the world. At times in San Diego, it felt like there were more people cheering for the other team than for us. Not so in New Orleans. On game day, the city shuts down. Everybody who can goes to the game, and those who don’t have tickets close up shop to watch on TV. And everybody is wearing either a Saints jersey or some form of black and gold.

With all of that said, I, we, have a request: If you’re not a fan of the Minnesota Vikings, please pull hard for our Saints to beat the Vikings. I mean, REALLY hard. I know, I know, you probably think it’s “irrational” to believe that whether or not you, sitting on your sofa in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or in a bar in Birmingham, Alabama, pull for the Saints will have any effect on the outcome of a game played in New Orleans, Louisiana, but we don’t believe that. We believe in the power of supernatural forces to create cosmic shifts in the universe (Hello, VOODOO!), especially when it comes to our football team. You have no idea how many items of clothing have been burned because they were worn on a day that the Saints lost a game, thus they were obviously cursed and needed to be destroyed. Duh.

So I, as a self-appointed representative of the Who Dat nation, would like to extend all of you a free ticket to ride on the Saints bandwagon from here until the final second ticks off the clock at the Super Bowl in Miami. After all the years we’ve suffered through miserable seasons, after a storm of biblical proportions just four years ago nearly washed away New Orleans and the stadium tomorrow’s game will be played in, we need this. Hell, I’ll even go so far as to say that we deserve it.

Won’t you please help us? Say it with me now…”WHO DAT!”

A small but sincere plea from little ole me. (via cajunboy)
