Will Drew Brees retire?

Vrillon82 · 01-08-2018, 09:33 PM

I think Brees needs a 2nd ring, hoping they get the **** together and win it this year.

He will be back next season for all of the reasons stated above Plus... You dont make it to 1485 yards, 78 completions, and 51 TDs shy of all time records and call it a day.

At minimum he plays two more seasons to break Manning's Passing TD record, then his previously mentioned competitiveness kicks in and he tries to outlast Brady to retain the titles.

And bingo, there it goes. No way he retires after putting in a lifetime worth of work, then retires being so close to all time records. No way.

Would you turn your nose up at 60+ million dollars to retire at 39?

Me neither.

Drew could make more off the field giving speeches/commentating at events writing books and doing endorsements.

If he gets into politics there is a lot of money there as well...

Add the above to the fact Drew has enough money to take care of generations of his family, and I don't think money would be his deciding factor.

There is no where near that much money in politics. Well maybe in New Orleans but it ain’t legit.
Most higher ups don’t clear more than 500,000.

That's crime, not politics.

Not the point. Would you turn down ~60 million to retire at 39? Nope. And neither would I.

Drew isn't retiring. If I had a farm I'd bet it.

My eyes have seen a lot of Saints games and I thought I'd be dead before we ever won a
SuperBowl. Katrina hits and the next thing we are hearing is San Antonio. Those were
dark days as most here have lived through. Then this ex Charger QB comes to town
everything changes, no more Aints.
So yeah I'm hoping Drew sticks around for a few more years.
