Updating a previous item, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees’ new contract includes a first-year take in 2012 of $40 million, according to league, players’ union and team sources. The guaranteed money is considered by all parties involved to be an NFL-record $60 million, though there are contractual, but unlikely, outs for the Saints before Brees would receive all of that sum.
