Welp, we suck again.

damn. Well I figured it would happen. Took more than a week tho..

40 million in the first year? Damn!

ah well. when we win the division, it will feel that much better!

I'm sure Alice will be on here crowing any time now, even though it took 3 months instead of "next week".

No big surprise... except that they screwed around so long before getting it done...

[Gallagher]

Whatever. They're still going to be without Sean Payton and Jonathan Vilma all season and Joe Vitt and Will Smith the first time we play them.

Moreover, this contract is going to hurt the Saints** organization for years into the future. What do you think players are going to think when they are getting cut or are scared of getting cut when one guy accounts for 1/6th of their salary cap? They're not going to be singing their stupid songs, I can tell you that much. Not good for team morale.

In closing, fug the Saints**!

Wonder who gets the axe to clear the extra 14 mil needed to fit Brees in

[Mr. Scot]

Now watch him have a crappy year

[Darknight]

Dayum! 60M guaranteed in the first 3 years? Jesus tap dancing christ! I wonder how much cap space does the Saints* have left now. Brees cap number was 16M already and now by the numbers his cap number when up 4 years to 20M.

Welp, we suck again.

Does anyone else remember the name of that defensive coach who pretty well shut down Peyton Manning?

I think it was Ron something

Was his last name Riviera or something close to that? He played for some championship team back in the day but for the life of me I can't remember his name either.
