Brees will break every all time passing record before he retires. Make no mistake. He wants this. He is under 6 ft tall. He's never given the credit of the other QBs and all he can do to earn respect is to ball. After he breaks all of Peyton Manning's and Dan Marino's passing records, he'll consider retiring. Probably closer to 45 than 40.......Of course with a ring in 09 and 17 at least. WhoDat!

Say we and the Falcons win and he gets a NFC Championship game at home..wins

Goes to Minnesota in the superbowl wins

You could not have a better script to walk away

Wouldn't blame him either

But i think he would think

Get the rest of the records and more importantly

Why not back to back

I feel this is the beginning of a 5 year window for the Saints. That means this year and then for the next 4 years, the Saints should be in a position to be considered Superbowl contenders. Brees should have a legitimate shot at getting 2 more rings, no way he retires if he stays healthy and effective.

He doesn't retire because he'll have the All-Time PaYd record probably by Week 4 of next year...

If he had that record, I do think he'd seriously consider retiring while on top, but not with so many records there for the taking...

After the season he just had? No way, superbowl or not, he actually has a run game to help now, he extends for 2 more years and retires a Saint, this season has secured that now.

The Dude

Not at this point. If this was another 7-9 season I have no doubt he would have gone elsewhere. I honestly don’t think he’s lost much as far as his game. He’s just got a lot less to work with besides running game

Get your popcorn ready, he just gettin' started w/ these youngins'

I really want them to extend Ingram also. He has been a great teammate and mentor to the future of our team the Kamaro.

I don't see him retiring after this year. The QB's who retire and go out "on top" after winning a Super Bowl, or after a deep playoff run, is actually a pretty tiny minority of QB's, it's really a very minuscule percentage who do that. My suspicion is that he already has something silently in mind in his head, a scenario worked out in collaboration with Brittany and Tom Condon, where he is going to reach that certain point and then he's done. But it ain't now.

This year's O-line play and running game prolonged his career by at least another year.
Fewer hits, less wear and tear on his arm, and maybe even less stress knowing someone else (defense too) can shoulder some of the load- all factors
