According to ESPN, Drew Brees just landed one hell of a massive contract. The contract dispute apparently worked in the Sains’ QB’s favor as this is enormous. Details courtesy of ESPN:
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement on a five-year, $100 million contract that includes a first-year take in 2012 of $40 million, according to league, players union, and team sources. For all practical purposes, the guaranteed money is considered by all parties involved to be an NFL-record $60 million, though there are contractual, but unlikely, outs for the Saints before he would receive all of that sum.
