Drew Brees Signs With The New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees joins the New Orleans Saints after feeling underappreciated by the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers brass was eager to let Brees go after his shoulder injury and decided to go ahead and roll the dice with Philip Rivers. Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith was never in love with Brees, because he wasn’t drafted by him, therefore wasn’t a “Smith guy”. New Orleans was able to nab Brees with a six-year contract, worth 60 million dollars, plus a 8 million dollar signing bonus. The Saints no longer have to draft a QB with the #2 pick in this years’ draft, and wait for the project QB to progress. Brees will give the Saints an immediate impact player. The Saints can also look to trade down in the draft for multiple picks and address a number of holes to fill.
