Eefluxx 113 Posted July 12, 2012 NFL.com said they are 10m apart Yes, for some reason they stand 10 meters apart when negotiating. I don't get it either. From what I have heard they aren't that far apart. From what he has done for the city itself as well as the franchise I would pay him $20 million. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 12, 2012 NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints still must close a significant gap in guaranteed money if they are to agree on a five-year contract worth about $100 million by Monday's looming deadline for a long-term deal, said a person familiar with the negotiations. The sides were more than $10 million apart in the guaranteed portion of the contract on Wednesday, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because talks are ongoing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/12/drew-brees-contract-negotiations-10-million-apart_n_1667454.html?utm_hp_ref=sports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted July 12, 2012 Drew needs to get realistic on this "highest paid ever" argument. I'm not sure he's even a top 10 NFL player, and he's barely the 4th best QB in the game, in my eyes. I'd take both Eli and Ben over Brees, not just Brady and Rodgers. ...... What?

If he was the best QB, I'd sign him like he is. He isn't; he can come down a bit on the price. Uh... what? He put's up 3,000-4,000 passing yards and 25-30 TD's on a regular basis. How is he only the 4th best? Edited July 13, 2012 by BigBen07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 12, 2012 Uh... what? How many non-top 10 QB's can put up 3,000-4,000 passing yards and 25-30 TD's on a regular basis? I said not necessarily a top 10 player, not top 10 QB. He's the fourth or fifth best QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 12, 2012 ...... What? What are you confused by? Drew isn't worth "highest paid player in NFL history" kind of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because Brady, Rodgers, and Eli all do the same thing and Ben is WAY more clutch. Drew also has a major INT problem. You could say Eli does, too, but if a game winning drive is out there, it's Eli you want out there ahead of Brees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
