Wow! That makes the Albert Haynesworth deal look cheap. |

| No one is worth $40 million for one season. That's a third of the cap. |

| As with the value of a house, the value of a player is whatever some team is willing to pay for him. |

Usually I'm against paying these guys all that money but winning a SB is priceless bro and he's proven himself one of the most elite QBs out there. Obviously this couldn't be done if they didn't have a good offense already established though. |

| I totally understand your points, but there is no other team out there that would pay that much for just one player. I agree that Brees is in the top three QBs in the league, but I still don't think he's worth $40 million for one season. That's insane. They must be able to afford it, though. Maybe the bounty suspensions cleared up some cap space. |
