Drew Brees and Saints Agree to a Deal... Finally

Perhaps the most shocking thing during the whole NFL off season is the fact that the Saints and Drew Brees have not come to a deal. The Saints tagged him and both sides have drawn out negotiations this close to training camp. Despite the way it has been going, the two sides have come to an agreement at last. Drew Brees and the Saints agreed to a five year worth $100 million in which $60 million is guaranteed. In fact, $40 million is guaranteed this upcoming season.

Through all the torment with Bountygate, this deal needed to get done. Having Drew Brees is the only way to keep playoff hopes for the Saints alive during this rough season ahead. It also gives them peace of mind for the next few seasons. It would have been interesting to see Brees holdout when the deadline passed but I guess if you are a football fan you are glad that Brees won't miss any time and are happy to have him available for your fantasy team.
