Brees' playing career with the Chargers was in jeopardy in 2004 when San Diego acquired Philip Rivers from the New York Giants in a deal for Eli Manning. However, Brees beat out Rivers for the starting job in 2004, and finished third in the league for quarterback rating, behind only Peyton Manning and Daunte Culpepper. Brees was named to the Pro Bowl that season. In 2006, Brees inked a deal with the New Orleans Saints worth $60 million over six years. That year, he led the Saints to the AFC Championship.
