He refused an absolutely insane offer to make him the highest paid player in football. I'm with the saints on this one. I might not even try an sign him after the tender and let him walk next year.

You don't give that kind of money long term with the expectation you won't get any long term return.
They're 15 million dollars apart in total contract money and they still offered to pay him 22+ over 5+ years. He'd be 39 years old at the end of it. It's bullshit. Brees shouldn't be negotiating like this.
"Brees is seeking a contract that averages $23 million per season for the first three years of his deal, sources told Schefter. That's the same amount Peyton Manning's Colts contract averages the first three seasons."
I didn't see anything that says he was asking for that over the duration of the contract. Otherwise, I would agree with you, that's ridiculous.

I'm not willing to pay Drew Brees that number. He remade the franchise, but I wouldn't be willing to have him be the player who takes it down with him too.
He's being a huge detriment to the team at this point. No Nicks, who was the best guard in the NFL last year and no Colston. They likely will lose draft picks from the bounty scandal as well. It's hard being a saints fan.

That first throw definitely looked game ready to me.
I said it.
He's still a top 3 QB. He absolutely deserves Peyton Manning money.

What an awful deal for them.
