[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 478638"] Not according to rotoworld.com: 7/13/2012: Signed a five-year, $100 million contract. The deal contains $40 million guaranteed -- a $37 million signing bonus and Brees' first-year base salary. Brees is eligible for annual $250,000 workout bonuses in years two through five. 2012: $3 million, 2013: $9.75 million, 2014: $10.75 million, 2015: $18.75 million, 2016: $19.75 million, 2017: Free Agent As a side note, this deal was back loaded for cap purposes, with big cap hits coming in 2015 ($26 mil) and 2016 ($27 mil). Don't be surprised if the Saint's pick a QB in the draft with an eye toward 2015. The Saints did this deal with a gun to their heads. They wanted to franchise Brees for a third year in a row, but lost an arbitration suit which, if I recall correctly, would have awarded Brees the franchise number + 40%. That made franchising prohibitive. [/QUOTE]
