Getty Images According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New Orleans Saints have offered quarterback Drew Brees a contract that would pay him more than both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.  All indications are that it’s still not enough money. “‪Saints‬ have offered to make him a higher-paid QB than Brady & Manning,” said Schefter, per Evan Silva.  ”It has not been enough.” I’m not sure what Brees is looking for and I’m sure the Saints feel the same way.  It looks like he’s either being really greedy or he wants to win the mega millions.

Sooner or later, the Drew Brees-New Orleans Saints contract impasse will end. The most likely outcome is a lavish deal that keeps the star quarterback in the fold for years to come.
