Brees gets his deal

[panthers55]

As a said before the cap for this year actually went down. It is essentially a 3 year deal. In 2012 he counts 10.4 million, in 2013 he counts 17.4 million and in 2014 he counts 18.4 million. Then in 2015 it goes up to 26.4 million and in 2016 it goes up to 27.4 million. Supposedly the TV contract is supposed to take care of that but you saw how in 2014 revenue will be flat. If teams borrow again on future earnings to raise the cap in 2013, then 2015 could be relatively flat and this would be a huge problem for the Saints**.

Counting Brees the Saints** have roughly 130 million committed to the cap for 2013 which counts 47 players signed of the 56 which count against the cap. And things won't get any better in 2014. Unless the TV contract does go up a bunch, Brees will be gone in 2015.

The window is definitely closing. With 2012 unlikely for a Super bowl, they will have 2 years to get it done before they retreat back to suckdom.

just fyi the nfl management council is projecting pretty much a flat cap from now until 2015:

I don't have the link, but I remember reading some where, that said the owners offered the Union a fixed cap I think it was around 140-150mil.

Because he's not a homo. But this is about Brees.

[toldozer]

Nobody thought he would go unsigned. We will still finish with a better record. And will still beat them week 2

Just a look into Cams future contract.

... Did you even think about this before you posted it?

So, what you're saying is... Brees is? I guess that's the implication here...

[toldozer]

Not really just kinda instant response to the disgusting churn he causes in my stomach

Only an idiot actually thought he wouldn't sign a contract. Panther fans just enjoyed all the angst and issues while it was undecided. The bottom line is that I don't think the Saints* are going to win a championship with him this year so honestly it is not as a big a deal as you want it to be.

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Come on, you guys were hoping he'd pull a Palmer and not sign. Yall don't want anything to do with Brees.
