One quarterback used to be the highest-paid player on average in NFL history. The other is currently the highest-paid player ever in the league.
Drew Brees and Matt Stafford will square off for the fourth consecutive season when the Saints host the Lions on Sunday. Both deserve the money given the importance of the position.
And Brees knows what he’s up against in a couple of days.
“Bottom line is he is a great player and I know this, (when) you go into a game against a team like this and a quarterback like this, you know that the game’s never over,” Brees said.
