Brees coming back

jtsaints · 05-16-2022, 09:01 AM

In an interview he said he may come back to football. Wonder if he would serve as a back up, a starter or go to another team. I'm sure he sees the wr core we have now and dreams he would of had that when he was playing.

Brees isn't coming back to play professional football.

Besides, he's done.

That’s an interesting point and I think you are correct. You specifically said WRs. But just to do a comparison, let’s take a look at what Brees had to throw to during one of his best yardage seasons vs what’s on paper for the Saints now:

Graham vs Thomas. That’s a wash IMO
Colston va Landry Again, that’s a wash
Meacham vs Olave. Both Young first round draft picks. We shall see.
Sproles/Thomas vs Kamara. Edge Kamara but hit by much.
Moore vs Callaway/Smith. Wash

Just thoughts off the top of my head.

He also said he's considering joining the pickle ball league...so I'm pretty sure he was being tongue in cheek with the football remark.

Maybe he’s joining the pickle ball league as an announcer ?

As stated in the other thread, he can't chuck the ball past 20 yards, certainly not the deep ball like Jameis can. Defenses would just crowd the line as before. His quick release and decisions and a great asset, but he simply can't take a whole season anymore and is spent by the time the playoffs come around.

Mebbe he comes back as a coach?

Maybe, IMO he's not a big enough doosh to fit in with Florio & Sims comfortably.

If Seattle will give us any picks I will take them. Brees arm and Lockett + Metcalf as deep threats would be an interesting combo.

The media can act like WWE at times. They took his comment and ran with it. Brees is probably already planning his next business venture.

Drama.

The only "coaching" I see Brees doing is for his second-oldest - Bowen. Only 12 but is super competitive like his dad.
