Raising The Salary Bar

Saints QB Drew Brees has raised the bar when it comes to the insane salaries being paid to some players. His five years for $100 million surpasses the $96 million contract signed by Peyton Manning.

The contract for Brees makes a bit more sense than Manning's. However, both teams will face salary cap issues down the road. Both of these players will have their contracts restructured at some point.

The NFL salary structure continues to be quite lopsided with a few players making all of the money. So many players end up playing for the veteran minimum, with some incentives thrown in.
