Today New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees put his pen to work by signing autographs on items to the contract extension that he sighned for the Saints. This past Friday he verbally agreed to it and then he sealed the deal by signing his famous signature. The extension is for five years which he will get paid $20 million a year. After the signing, Brees stated: "It's been a little surreal just because of the process throughout the offseason, and just how challenging an offseason it's been for everyone, obviously everyone within the Saints organization, this city. It's just been a crazy offseason and I think we're all just ready to get back to work and excited that it's all starting here in a week. It's hard to believe."
Brees of course stayed busy training in the off season in California. He has also maintained contact with his teammates and assistant head coach Joe Vitt. Vitt is stepping up to take over and handle things since head coach Sean Payton is suspended for this NFL season for the bounty investigation. Brees also stated that teammates were texting him all the time, so again, the Saints were in constant communication. Now that training camp starts on July 24th I am pretty sure that the Saints have put last season behind them and they are ready to get back on the field. With the same offensive system for the past six years, and a new defensive system I am sure that the fans of Who Dat Nation is eager to see what their team has in store. Stay tuned.......
