Chargers | Brees turned down six-year contract with team
Sun, 12 Mar 2006 09:38:38 -0800
Harvey Fialkov and Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports free agent QB Drew Brees (Chargers) turned down a six-year, $50 million contract because only $2 million of it was guaranteed, according to a report in the San Diego Union-Tribune. The Chargers only guaranteed $2 million because of the uncertain status of his surgically repaired right shoulder

Dang, he must really want to play somewhere else.
Re: Brees turned down 6yr. 50 mil contract with the Chargers
WTF!!!!
He has to understand the view of his shoulder and trouble it can cause.
This makes me VERY wary of him
Re: Brees turned down 6yr. 50 mil contract with the Chargers
Only 2 million guaranteed?! Are you kidding? His shoulder isn't THAT bad. Goodness gracious. I don't blame him for turning that down.

I second that... Fu@k the Chargers. They basically wanted something for nothing... 2 mil guaranteed, what a joke.. Out of 50 mil, only 2 mil guaranteed. Good man Brees, you did the right thing..

I would take 2 mill of guaranteed money anyday.

2 million???????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAH! That has got to be the laugh of the century right there!
Brees is going to command a lot of money for sure though, I don't know if I want that anymore. I wouldn't mind a Daunte for Ramsey/2nd rounder instead. As much as I have stated to sign Brees man....if that injury was more serious then it's made out to be we're SCREWED.

Not for 6 years and getting the crap beat out of you every Sunday... Any pro football player that takes a 6 year 50 mil contract with only 2 mil guaranteed other than a K, needs to be evaluated for retardation....... :duh:

He'll get more money elsewhere.
