Report: New Orleans Saints lock in Drew Brees for two years, $27 million guaranteed

Perhaps a little too close for the comfort of New Orleans Saints fans, but their franchise quarterback is back in the fold.

Drew Brees, a free agent who was less than 24 hours from potentially ransacking the Saints' cap situation this year whether he was on the roster or not, is signing a two-year, $50 million deal including $27 million guaranteed. The guaranteed portion falls well below the likes of Matthew Stafford's and Derek Carr's monster deals, but it's reflective of a quarterback who's said he's OK with a year-to-year commitment as he winds down his illustrious career.
