Saints make it officially official, move Drew Brees to reserve/retired list
 

Drew Brees officially goes on reserve/retired list
 

Drew Brees announced his retirement some time ago, but the end of his playing career only became official on Friday.

The Saints placed Brees on the reserve/retired list in a move that was delayed for reasons related to the salary cap. By waiting until after June 1 to put Brees on the list, the Saints were able to gain a nice chunk of cap space because they could split the amount of dead money on the cap between this season and 2022.

Brees will account for $11.15 million under the cap in each season. Prior to retiring, Brees also cut his $25 million salary for 2021 to the league minimum in February and created almost $24 million in cap space for the Saints to use this offseason.

The Saints still had to restructure cornerback Marshon Lattimore‘s deal to sign their draft picks, which shows how tight they’ve been to the salary cap this season and how much worse it would have been without the maneuvers involving Brees on his way out of town.

I just read an article on saints app, I’m still crying. It’s about his work ethic and grind to lead a team. Pete Carmichael piped in and added to it it will absolutely make u tear up. And if u don’t you just don’t have a heart. [emoji23]

I still tear up every time I read that he's retiring! Mark my words. He'll come back stronger next year. Remember that you heard it here first. :banana:

I'm more proud than sad. Considering the injuries the last few years, Drew pretty much emptied the tank and gave us what he had left.
