- Tom Said he wanted to play until he was 45 in Aug of 2019, then 46 or 47 in Nov 2019 where also stated he set the 45 a long time ago. Now he is back to 45? It is all moot because Drew isn't going to catch Tom statistically Tom is 10 TDs ahead and only 1100 yards passing behind...

Drew isn't thinking about Tom Brady right now other than "I wish I were him playing in the SB".

Drew's Wife
Her stating that he played injured has no significant bearing on him returning to the Saints. You want all of this to be meaningful but it just isn't.

Before anyone dismisses anything that I am saying as dislike for Drew, his name is the only name that I have ever had on the back of a jersey that I have owned (other than my own). Mostly because, well wearing something with another mans name on it is not something I generally do.

Maybe if Drew Brees has to watch a Saints season from the couch then participate in the painfully abbreviated post season, he will grab Sean Payton's ear and whisper 'dafuq you doin?'.

I referenced Brady because he played without the shoulder injury that hampered Brees most the season and without the facia injury, as well. If Brees feels like he can fully recover this offseason I can see him wanting to continue playing for the same reason as Brady ... the love of the game.

As for Brittney's statements, I believe it shows her active support. That is critical in any decision to continue or quit. He has said the decision to return was made by them both over the past few years.
