Brees gets $44.25 million fully-guaranteed over two years

Per a league source with knowledge of the deal, it’s a five-year contract that automatically voids to two years, and it pays out $44.25 million fully-guaranteed over those two seasons. Coupled with the $20 million he was due to make this year, it’s a one-year extension worth $24.5 million.

The contract also has a no-trade clause and a term preventing the Saints from tagging him in 2018. This means that, after the 2017 season, Brees will be free to leave if he wants to, and if he’s still playing at a sufficiently high level to allow him to.

Sad, Brees is never going to the playoffs again.

Elway lures Brees to Denver in 2018 for a one year deal to try to net another championship while the defense is still relatively intact, but he never sees another year. He's a class act, but thats just too much salary space for a guy his age. I agree, he won't see the playoffs as a saint again.

Spoiled player.

He deserves to be criticized like Peyton Manning, but won't be because he's seen as a "nice guy".

Meanwhile Brady plays for less than many middling NFL QBs.

Brady has a wife that makes way more than any NFL player also.
