Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints have been going for short-term deals for several years now, and there is no indication that’s about to change this offseason.
Mike Triplett of ESPN reported that there’s no reason to believe significant changes are coming to how Brees and the Saints have operated, and a one- or two-year deal will likely be on the table at most. The expectation of his part is that Brees will land a deal close to $25 million a year.
Brees has a good team around him, has been loyal to New Orleans, and has shown no inclination to rock the boat. There isn’t expected to be much drama in negotiations. Pretty much everyone involved has dismissed the possibility of him even considering other options.
