$40 million is fully guaranteed! In 2013, the Saints will have a three-day window to release him after the waiver period begins (five days after the Super Bowl); if not, Brees gets another $15 million of fully guaranteed earnings, bringing his two-year total to $55 million.

HOLY SHEET! That's a lot of guaranteed bread.

Yeah and even if he has a crap year, so long as he's upright he'll be there long-term. You don't fork over $40M in year one just to get rid of a guy a year later, plus he's the much needed positive face of the franchise. His job is about as safe as it gets in the NFL.

Worth every penny, glad they got it done. Does anyone know if the suspended players count against the salary cap? is that maybe why they loaded it so heavily in year 1?
