Brees Additional Injuries

My concern with this sort of thing is you could see it being used as a reason for just one more go. A bad last game,going out on a crappy game and you could see Drew waking up in a few weeks and going again.

Love the guy and he has been truely one of the greatest ever to play the game but another year would be a mistake imho.

After all he’s done for this city and this team I would support him another year.
I doubt his teammates would.

I get that, but it would likely be a wasted year and would decimate the team as you would either have to eat a massive 35ml cap hit or extend him again pushing more money down the line.

I have seen it to much in other sports when fighters,players i have loved watching compete just going on a couple of years beyond what they should physcially and it just gets ugly and leaves a bit of a tarnish on their legacy for many. For what he doen he would deserve it, but for the team it would push everything back a year for nothing and you are wasting a year of young players

As a player, I would not. I would want to him to retain whatever modicum of health and fitness he has, for the benfit of his, his family's future.

As an Ambassador for the Saints - Yeah.
