I hope not to be honest.

Love Drew, but he ain't got it anymore.

Drew at 35% is better than anyone we have on the roster. Not to mention a cheap cap hit.

Or maybe because he's 42? All the great ones will decline.

Deion, Rice, Ewing, MJordan … father time remains undefeated.

It's time.

Is everyone ignoring the fact that he was dealing with a rotator cuff injury through at least most of the season? You can be 24 years old and "not have it" under those circumstances.

Brees hasn't performed at a level to enable the Saints to win it all in the post season since 2017. He's tougher than a 2 dollar steak, a soldier but these type of injuries (especially a torn rotator) at his current age will be more difficult to tolerate each passing year.

I hope Brees retires for his own sake. He gave so much for the fans, team mates and the city of New Orleans. Healing properties of the body do not get better with age in a gladiator sport. Hopefully he listens to that second voice.

#9 has nothing left to prove …

But it's time.

But if he feels and the team agrees that he is the best bet to win it all again then why not? That second voice may only be in your head. His ONLY voice is the only one that matters, K. No doubt he has nothing left to prove. Why must proving something be a factor. If he still loves the game, feels he can be healthy enough to to play, and play at a high level then why not? By the way, those are what he has stated each of the last four off-seasons as deciding factors whether or not he returns. Having something to prove has never been a factor.

Edit: I needed to add ... HIS OWN SAKE? What does "his own sake" mean?
