"That's going to be a special moment," Carr said. "I've been thinking about it, too. I was like, 'Man, I hope I don't all of a sudden get randomly emotional.' I literally dreamed of that since I was this tall. Every time I walked in that stadium for my brother's games, I would tell my dad, 'Yeah, they're going to put Dave's up there, but they're going to put mine, too.'
The one-word message to Condon read, "Wow," Brees recalled this week.
Teammate Mike Evans joined the top 100 by moving from 114th to 78th. As a result, the Bucs climbed in team sales from 27th to 19th.
Sean Payton, who has been Brees' coach since 2006, saw Stafford's contract as business as usual in the NFL.

GOOD READING: NFL fans looking for something more than games and fantasy teams should consider two books that recently hit the shelves.
Stafford is now the highest-paid NFL player, a title Brees held back in 2012 when Condon negotiated a five-year, $100 million deal for him. Now Brees is in his final year under contract with New Orleans, having agreed to a one-year extension last year as a short-term solution to New Orleans' salary cap crunch at the time.
George's timing is impeccable, and his fourth chapter focuses on the sensational season Dak Prescott had for Dallas last year. But the best material is in Chapter 5, titled "Shattered Dreams," in which George examines such failures as Todd Marinovich, David Klingler, Rick Mirer and Heath Shuler, then devotes plenty of room to Ryan Leaf — probably the poster child for youthful failure behind center.
Game 199 was in last season's finale, Green Bay's NFC North-clinching 31-24 victory over Detroit on Jan. 1.
NBC's first offering was on Sept. 7, 2006, the Thursday night kickoff game with the Dolphins at the Steelers. It was the network's first regular-season game since the 1997 season.
In the rookie parade since the draft in April, the AFC North is the place to look before any real games have been staged. Steelers running back James Conner is tops among newcomers, followed by top overall selection DE Myles Garrett of Cleveland, and Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt. Watt trails brother J.J. a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, by a mere two spots on the overall defensive player list for jersey sales since the NFL draft.
While Brees was impressed with Stafford's deal, he wasn't about to question it.
Three nights later was the "Sunday Night Football" opener of the Colts against the Giants in the first meeting between Peyton and Eli Manning, a 26-21 Indianapolis victory.
JERSEY SALES: Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston appears to be benefiting from the Buccaneers' turn on HBO's "Hard Knocks."
Carr will go back to Fresno State on Saturday night to have his No. 4 jersey retired in a ceremony at halftime of the Bulldogs' season opener against Incarnate Ward.
JERSEY CEREMONY: Derek Carr will take a short break from preparations for the start of the season for the Oakland Raiders to receive an honor he's dreamed about for years.
Gary Myers of the New York Daily News came up with an original idea in his latest: "My First Coach (Inspiring Stories of NFL Quarterbacks and Their Dads)."  His tome is an examination of the relationships between several pro QBs and their fathers, and while it's not groundbreaking, it certainly is entertaining.
Fair enough, considering some of those 200 have not been played on Sundays, including Thanksgiving games.
Thomas George's "Blitz,Cheap Jerseys Supply," with a foreword by Warren Moon and an afterword by Tony Dungy also is a fun read. George examines why rookie quarterbacks have become starters so often in the past 15 or so seasons; no QB had won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award until Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger took it in 2004.
The best material centers on Phil Simms' strong relationship with his two quarterback sons, Chris and Matt, who have both played in the NFL, and Phil's struggles to communicate with his own father when Phil was developing as a player. Also, the emotionally charged memories Brett Favre has of his late father and coach, Irv, are highlights.
Fresno State has played a big part in Carr's life since the days he went to games there cheering big brother David, who previously had his jersey retired, and then when Derek starred at quarterback there.
When asked how Stafford's number might affect his next contract, the 38-year-old Brees asserted he's "not even thinking about it."
The highest-rated show on television, NBC's program has seen the Cowboys (38), Giants (30) and Steelers (28) featured most often.
"The guy's played great,NFL Jerseys China, you know. Last year was as impressive, I think, a run as a quarte
