Brees, turning 38, thinks he deserves $60 mill guaranteed?

[Coach]

And some here think Ben Rothlesberger is QUESTIONABLE to make..........



Salute the nation

Who says that Iron? The only QB that has won two super bowls not to make the hall of fame is Jimmy Plunket. That's it. Ben is a 99% lock, maybe not a first ballot guy, but a lock.


Plunkett Career NFL statistics for those who wonder:

TD–INT: 164–198
Yards: 25,882
Passer rating: 67.5


Ben's career stats as of 2015. 3 Superbowls played, two won.

Passing attempts: 5,423
Passing completions: 3,476
Percentage: 64.1
TD–INT: 272–147
Passing yards: 42,995
Passer rating: 94.0

Brees is a lock for the HOF. Super Bowl MVP. Career leader in passing yards per game. 3rd all time in passing TDs. 4th in passing yards, and likely to break the record with 3 more seasons. Highest career completion percentage. They'll talk about his candidacy for like 30 seconds in the HOF voting and he'll be in.


(personally I think he's a stat padding stat ***** but I know my opinion on that doesn't matter)

He signed


The extension will be announced as a five-year deal but contains an automatic void to two years, sources told ESPN's Ed Werder, meaning Brees is contractually committed to Saints for this season and next only. His $20 million salary this season and $24.25 million for next season -- a total of $44.25 million -- is fully guaranteed, the sources said.

Drew Brees inks new two-year, $44.25M deal

It's essentially a two-year deal worth a guaranteed $44.25 million. The contract was announced as a five-year pact, but it automatically voids after 2017. Brees is now signed through his age-38 season and will turn 39 in January 2018.

More reasonable than 60 mill, and a wise thing to only go 2 years, when it comes down to it.

It's reasonably appropriate.
