A few rumors on Twitter mention a torn rotator cuff, but there’s nothing nearly concrete enough to quote.While Brees was already off to a questionable start, this is hardly good news for the Saints. He never left the game and although he played poorly, he played poorly pretty much the whole time, so no one could distinguish the moment anything happened. In all likelihood, Brees will restructure his contract and take a slight pay cut for the 2016 season. It’s possible it was just wear and tear that came to fruition against the Bucs. Well, they did.It’s not clear when or how Brees hurt his shoulder. How could things get worse? For comparison, that's nearly $7 million more than the biggest cap hit for a quarterback this year, which is Brees at $23.8 million. The deal is drawn up as a one-year deal with a team option for a second season. On the season, he is completing 67.7 percent of his passes and has thrown for 4,547 yards with 31 TDs against just 11 INTs. The #Saints and QB Drew Brees have struck a 2-year deal worth $50M, sources tell me and @SlaterNFL. The official source for NFL news, video highlights, fantasy football, game-day coverage, schedules, stats, scores and more. Sources: #Saints believe QB Drew Brees has a shoulder injury that will likely cause him to miss games, potentially several games. But if he's reluctant to do that, parting ways with the franchise quarterback isn't as far-fetched as it sounds. The economics of the NFL are sometimes just as important as the actual Xs and Os. He’s back and everyone can breathe. 1 overall draft spot. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.
Brees is also very old for a quarterback. Do not reproduce without permission. The Saints have been trying to clean up their clogged cap sheet for years and Brees, who 13-17 since the start of the 2014 season and approaching his 37Brees is currently playing through a torn plantar fascia yet still managed to tear up the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday for 412 yards and three touchdowns. Instead, after a flattening by Arizona and an embarrassment at home by the high school level Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints are quickly rising in the power rankings for the No. There isn’t any new detail as to what the type of injury is.

According to Today, Brees was in Los Angeles to see a specialist and according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Brees has some ligament damage on the thumb of his throwing hand. For example, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees carries a prodigious salary cap hit of $30 million in 2016. He gets $27M guaranteed. McCown is best known currently for those stupid Verizon commercials with him talking at the camera and wishing he’d get a starting job.Huh.
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Brees absolutely "has to take a hometown discount" in order to stay with the team long-term. Maybe the Saints need to look into Luke McCown as a possible suspect.Edit: Don’t panic yet Saints Fans (At least not for Brees, you should still panic in general), Schefter has some slight good news:MRI confirmed Drew Brees did not suffer serious shoulder injury Sunday, per Soon after, the news was confirmed by Ian Rapoport of NFL.com and Adam Schefter of ESPN. This is because quarterback Drew Brees hurt his hand in the first half and it appeared to be somewhat serious. On Monday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport mentioned that the Cowboys and Elliott’s reps negotiated throughout the holiday weekend with hopes of reaching a deal that would make the 24-year old All Pro running back the highest-paid player at his position. After a year of failure in 2014 in which high expectations turned into deep sadness, they were expected to bounce back. ESPN’s Adam Schefter also reported the details of the deal. Without Brees, the Saints are left with Luke McCown to lead the offense. The Saints are already off to becoming the ‘Aints this season.
