Drew Brees and the Saints have reportedly agreed to a new two-year 50-million dollar contract to keep the future Hall of Famer in New Orleans. NFL analyst Mike Detillier says it’s the right move to re-sign the 41-year-old at an affordable price for a star quarterback.
“The only championship you can win, is the one you are playing for this year and Drew Brees gives you that opportunity,” said Detillier.
There are some Saints fans who believe the team should turn to backup Teddy Bridgewater. But Bridgewater is reportedly finalizing a deal with Carolina. Detillier says Brees can still win games.
“In this offense and you surround him with another weapon or two, this gives you the best opportunity, he’s still a star player in this league,” said Detillier.
Before announcing that he would play a 20th season, Brees says he’s taking it year-by-year on whether he’ll keep playing. Detillier says a two-year contract benefits the Saints, when it comes to money towards the cap.
