Damn, thats annoying. I was wondering when the Saints would stop being stupid. I was hoping they wouldnt wise up.

Largest yearly average contract in NFL history.

Drew got this because of the arbitrator that ruled that the franchise tag in San Diego mattered here.

He was guaranteed $40 million the next two years(unless he got a massive injury and the Saints cut him). That's why he gets $60 million guaranteed.

Drew Brees seemed to have what the Bears' Matt Forte doesn't...Leverage.

Move over Michael Jordan. Isn't this now the highest salary (for one season) in the history of professional sports?

If you count auto racing, $51 million is the top for one season.

I think Ngata made $37M a couple years ago in the first year of his deal. I dont remember hearing 40.

If you break down Year 1, though, it's only $2.3M per game. I guess he figured holding out wasn't worth it.

Those are winnings though. I was talking about a salary from a team. Doesn't this hurt teams that try to franchise a QB next season?

He hasn't even commented on the PSU/Paterno Scandal...

His silence means he supports child rape.

He was already tagged as the Saints' franchise QB. Drew was threatening to holdout if he didn't get his $$$$ from the Saints.

I don't know enough about Formula One, but it says he got a $51 million a year salary for 3 years. The team must get all the winnings.

Looks like he's #1 in team sports though. Lebron James has to be mad looking at this. A sport with 5 times the players and Brees is making significantly more than him.

Since the labor agreement in 1998 it's unlikely any NBA player will every have a salary higher than Jordan's. I think Kobe gets close in the last year of his deal but doesn't pass him.

Joe Johnson's making more than him.

Didn't know they had a school for Clandestine Electronic Listening & Subterfuge Studies.

:lol: He got paid now. He can stop being a Saints PR guy.

Don't you think he's overpaid? I imagine there's going to be a target on his back this season.
