I wonder if Tom Brady will look at that contract and go "man, if only I was a little younger... !"

Yeah he missed out. I think though if he cuts a few corners here and there and doesn't eat out as much, he and Giselle just might be able to squeak by.

The deal includes $40 million in the first year and a guaranteed $60 million in the first three years of the contract. That’s the biggest guarantee for any contract in NFL history. After protracted negotiations, Brees has done very well for himself.

Florio also has confirmed the numbers, adding that there are $22 million more in “rolling” guarantees as the contract unfolds.

That's pretty good coin for the third best QB in the NFL...

His good guy act really should **** off imo. Seems like a guy who doesn't even have the common courtesy of giving the team that gave him another shot a reach around when he is....you know.

These things get ridiculous every year....... in a few years we will have QBs asking for 60-70 mill per year............

40 mill for first year? are u freakin kidding me......

what will happen now is media and fans will start scrutinizing every game played by Brees........ every loss will be blamed on him.......

This deal makes me feel like the Saints ownership is suffering from concussion like symptoms

I like Brees, but wow that's a lot of $.

What's the salary cap, $120M this year? So it's Brees with 33%, the other 52 guys get to split the remaining 66%? Can you say 'locker room strife'?

What are the details of Brady's contract, 4 yrs, $72M, $48.5M guaranteed? Given that he was one year from free agency I would say these two deals are similar.

Additionally, what isn't in the original contract details is that Brady got paid up front for 2012. I forget what he was given, something like $10M.
