HOLD OUT PANS OUT FOR BREES

Drew Brees patience paid off in one hundred million, ten year contract.



Today he signed the biggest contract in the NFL.
MLB contracts that have loomed above us, A-Rod, ($275 Million for 10 years) and Alex Pujols $240 Million 10 year, now almost pale as the leading QB statistically has now set a new bar.  
Guaranteed 60 million for the 1st three seasons and $40 million for the 2012 season commencing Monday.

Now, remember professional baseball players play 161 games a season. 
NFL players play 16 games in the regular season.
So many looming rumors of his somehow attachment to the "Bounty Games",  that occurred in New Orleans, now just go the waysides....

Congratulations Mr. Brees, average salary $20M, (2012)
Followed by;

2. Peyton Manning: $19.2M (2012)3. (tie) Tom Brady: $18M (2010)3. (tie) Peyton Manning: $18M (2011)5. Julius Peppers: $16.7M (2009)6. Mario Williams $16.67M (2012)7. Eli Manning: $16.25M (2009)8. Calvin Johnson: $16.21M (2012)9. Carson Palmer: $16.17M (2005)10. Larry Fitzgerald: $16.14M (2011)

At least New Orleans has their QB locked in!
All a great buzz that the season is starting!!

Football is HERE!
