The biggest domino of the Saints offseason has fallen. Drew Brees and the Saints have agreed on a two-year, $50 million contract extension.
Like his previous contract, Brees is taking this one year-to-year to with the Saints, meaning that the team will not be shackled to an aging quarterback.
Brees could have easily earned $30 million or more per year on the open market, but his decision to settle for just $25 million in annual salary presents something of a discount for the Saints.
The 41-year-old started 11 games for the Saints in 2019. The 13-time Pro Bowler completed 74.3% of his passes for 2,979 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions
