He will finish his career in New Orleans otherwise he's not as smart as I thought and we were the only team to take a chance on him, period!

I do belive, according to readings at the time of the signing, that the purpose of the short contract structure was to give both sides flexibility in terms of Brees retiring. The terms keeps a ton of dead money off the table when Brees decides to retire.

This isn't unusual towards the end of a career. From what I remember Peyton Manning's final set of contracts with Denver were essentially year to year.

Brees has already made the committment. If he really wanted to leave, then all he needed to do was let his previous contract run out. He would be a free agent next week because the Saints cannot afford a $30 million+ franchise tag any more than anyone else.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
