$2.5m for sixty-minute of football? Insanity.
$2.5 million for an estimated 11 minutes of actual football according to this study:
According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes.
What do you think - he's the face of the franchise, a fighter and a dominant QB - possibly one of the best in NFL history as a gunslinger.
Is he worth it?
There's not a whole lot to cheer about in the NO. I was there a few years ago and it's half tenements. Katrina will never be overcome, but the Saints helped people forget. I think that with Bountygate putting such a stain on the team, it was probably important for them to keep the positive face on the franchise. If you're Brees, wouldn't you have been thinking maybe it's time to bounce while the chips are so down?
But no, no one is worth 40 million for one year. If I'm Brees I'm fairly cheerful.
