Drew Brees makes $40M in 2012, can finally afford to feed his family

The first legitimate news story of the Saints offseason!

This had to have been the hardest “easy” deal there ever was.

Brees now makes 100 million dollars over the next 5 years, 40 in 2012. It’s a good thing it happened today, since reports of Peyton Manning’s 16000 sq. foot, 4.5 million dollar home were probably making Drew jealous. But now he can buy 9 of them!

Looking at it from a football standpoint, both sides pretty much had to do what they did. Brees had to risk his reputation by angling for more money, and the Saints absolutely had to pay him. Now they just need him to perfect telepathic communication with Sean Payton and the Saints will be a-okay.

So close to August, guys! Football (and regular posting from us) is right around the corner! Here’s what you can expect as we get closer to kickoff:

And “CAN’T WAIT.” That too.
