Drew Brees signs $100 million contract

5 years, $100 million dollars. I wonder how this will affect Flacco's upcoming contract.

Flacco is not Drew Brees

Flacco is not Drew Brees

Obviously not, but whenever a top player at his position signs a huge contract, it affects all players behind him. Point being, had the Ravens negotiated a new contract for Flacco during the offseason, it may have cost them less than it will now that Brees has raised the bar a bit higher.
