Congrats to drew brees on the contract! Class act player and one of the NFL's elite. Im sure Rodgers will top that contract soon enough though
First thing I thought of when I saw this was "How will this affect A-Rods contract issue?" Hope the Saints don't screw us over by setting the bar too high
.I foresee another stock sale.
I thought the same thing when I read the title of this thread. Why celebrate the enormous contract. The more Brees signed for, the more Rodgers will expect and the bigger the impact on the Packers roster.As a Packers fan I was hoping Brees would hold out until the season starts – obviously that was unlikely since Brees was asking for “a little” more than $20M/yr and the Saints were offering “a little” less than $20M/yr. But it’s not like Brees’ family was going to starve if he sat out so I’m a bit mystified why Packers fans would “celebrate” his signing.
What a crybaby. 19.5 million a year wasnt enough? Does he have mobsters to pay off?
Agree mostly Sparta Chris.
Newhouse may be the long term answer at LT but this is a prove it season for him as well as Finley who you mentioned.
Burnett didn't play as well as I thought he should in 2011.
Not sure EDS is the center replacement. I think that replacement is still out there.
Aren't the points about Jones and Jennings a bit at odds? I think Jennings is more important than you give him credit for. He stretches the field. Can't lose him especially if you turn loose of Finley and Jones.
