This is the reason.

For Brees to retire a Saint, the team is going to have to commit a significant chunk to make it happen. Without Brees, the Saints are officially rebuilding and it may be 10 years to reclimb the mountain. With Brees, there is a chance in a shorter window, but it's going to cost.
Everyone seems to think this is an easy decision. Seems like there are blinders to the QB market in the NFL. The about proposed contract extension ($22 million a year, $60 million guaranteed) isn't even out of line. It's market value for a top 5 QB.
