Reports from the Times Picayune and Television in New Orleans indicate quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints are talking about a new contract extension. It is being said that Brees is asking for a four year contract worth $100 million. That is $25 million a year. If that report is true Brees should be ashamed of himself and the Saints should be seeing red to even give that number credibility.
Drew Brees has led the Saints to 3 losing seasons in the last four years, is nearing the end of his career and is not worth $25 million a year. Not even close. Brees is one of many players in the NFL who are overpaid and part of a system where wealth has destroyed competition. After the Saint's last four seasons, Brees should be giving a major cut in salary or let him seek employment elsewhere. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady has done so much more for their teams during their career than Brees has done for his team. More world championships, more division and conference titles, more winning seasons and more playoff appearances and wins. Drew Brees has not earned any thing near a salary of $25 millions a year and the Saints should tell him that.
