It's time.....you don't want to be like the last guy left on SNL whose been there forever, with an entire new cast and you look at him and say, damn he stayed one year too long. uncomfortable, maybe somewhat awkward.

I don't, but not because I don't think he can still QB a higher level than most QB's, even while I freely admit his skills are not what they used to be. I don't really want to watch him out there getting beat up. God bless his toughness, and frankly I'm in awe of it. I had a rib bruise once and sitting in a chair really friggin hurt but playing a contact sport on top of his other hurts? I'd love another Lombardi like everyone on this site, and I'm sure Drew would as well but I'd rather see Drew have a good quality of life when it's over. He's got nothing to prove to me, and honestly I never though the Saints would even see a SB much less win one. I'm not greedy.

I don't do Fantasy Football. [But I am real OK with those that do.]

And with what else is going on, I try (but do not always succeed) to block out fantasy.

Onward and Upward.

If the reason Brees couldn't get the ball down the field was because of his rotator cuff and he can come back healthy then I'm all for it. If he can't get the ball down the field due to age, I think he should retire. I have no idea which is the truth, hence I have no clue whether he should retire. Regardless we should be trying to find a QB. If we can get someone like Deshaun Watson, then goodbye Brees regardless. cause DW is better than Brees at this stage regardless of health.

Hill is making $16 million in 2021. The decision has already been made in regards to Brees being a Saint next season.

As Papz said it is time to cut bait.

In the context of your question it is still no as that is two seasons in a row that he has proven to have increased fragility so no, I don't want Drew back in 2021 so another QB can play part of the season.

What does Hill's cap hit have to do with Drew's cap hit or being on the team?

Key word is healthy. If he is, then I want him back.

As much as I love and respect Drew, we got to move on and get over the rough patch sooner than later
