Brees renegotiates

[Mr. Scot]

Probably funneling it into some account like the Pats would do with TB12 so Brady’s deals looked “team friendly” and not count against the cap.

only 75 million left to go NO

I expect Brees to be the Saints qb next year. Actually, I would be more surprised if he isn't No's qb next year.

Hope Burns crushes him and he’s out for the year again. Fug the Saints

He'll get'em.

Call me a homer, but I believe we are going to be much better next year, regardless of whom is QB.

ETA: matter of fact, I would bet that we are much better with Teddy next year then we were is year.

Then why did he renegotiate?

Someone brought it up on Twitter that this makes it easier to spread out and be a post June 1st retirement or something.

Here's how I understand the logic behind it...

Brees knows he's not going to get paid either way because he's retiring, so his salary being on the books only affects the Saints negatively with no benefit..

To fix this, he reduces his salary to league minimum. The Saints can't get entirely away from his contract, but this does a lot to lessen the impact of it.

It's a "team player" sort of thing, and the Saints can definitely use the cap relief.
