Per a league source with knowledge of the deal, it’s a five-year contract that automatically voids to two years, and it pays out $44.25 million fully-guaranteed over those two seasons. Coupled with the $20 million he was due to make this year, it’s a one-year extension worth $24.5 million.
The contract also has a no-trade clause and a term preventing the Saints from tagging him in 2018. This means that, after the 2017 season, Brees will be free to leave if he wants to, and if he’s still playing at a sufficiently high level to allow him to.
