After what I've seen from Goddell and the contract restructure I wouldn't rely on rules. He's likely giving himself time but with Payton so vocal on Winston I don't see him being back

If Payton was so high on resigning Winston why would he be pumping him up so much and inflating his value? That makes no sense. It's all fluff, lee. If you want to keep a free agent you don't go out and inflate his value. That's just plain stupid.

Edit: But then again, there are some here that are convinced that Sean Payton is stupid. So there's that.

Point taken but I don’t see what any of that has to do with Brees staying or retiring.

I was referencing lee's statement, "with Payton so vocal on Winston I don't see him (Brees) being back". The point is that if lee's argument was Payton honestly wanting Winston back based upon puffing him up, thus expecting Brees to be gone, is faulty, then Brees being gone isn't a given.
