There is a growing sense of belief that both Drew Brees and Sean Payton will not be with the Saints next season. That sense is not shared by Brees himself.

During an appearance on NFL Network’s “NFLHQ” Tuesday morning, Brees was asked if he can envision a scenario in which him and Payton are not in New Orleans comes 2016.

“No, I don’t,” he said confidently. “I think we — a plan was put in place throughout last offseason as to how we were going to build a foundation by which to make a run at it in the future. That includes some new faces, that includes some young players that, I think, will all have a chance to come together and kind of build a team that can make a run at it in the future.

“Unfortunately, we had high expectations going into this year and we fell a bit short. But I’m confident with the character, the leadership, the talent we have.”
