Will Drew Brees retire?

blackangold · 01-08-2018, 06:34 PM

If Drew gets his second ring, and plays like he did against Carolina for the rest of the playoffs do you think he retires?

His contract is up, and with 3 more MVP playoff games it would be hard for him to not contemplate retirement. In my opinion he comes back even if this scenario occurs and competes for another 2-4 years.

Nope, he's too competitive.

He will play until they cart him off the field.

Agree with this.

However, if I were him I would retire. Finish right on the top of your game and auto hall of famer.

Brees is already a 1st ballot HOFer even if he never plays another down of pro football. There's nothing he can do at this point to change that, good or bad.

Brees will not retire if he wins his second Super Bowl this year.

He said he will play into his 40's.
If not in Nola, then whoever else will have him.
I get the feeling he and Brady will play until 42 or 43 then they will slow down.

Drew's arm is strong and his touch is still touch.
I think Drew will be in Nola so long as Sean Payton is here, until Drew retires.

Considering how he has been disrespected by the sports media’s love affair with Manning, Brady and every rising star rookie, I thing Brees is going to play -

1 - as long as he continues to perform to his own standards
2 - until he owns about every QB record in the books
3 - until the majority of his record numbers are "untouchable" by mortals

Actually, he has said on MANY occasions that not only is he planning on playing well into his 40's, but he is also going to play the rest of that career in New Orleans. I for one believe him. He has no desire to play anywhere else. Hell, he has no reason to play anywhere else. His best chance of continuing to win is with the Saints. Why go anywhere when the roster is built for HIM to win and anywhere else is a total unknown. That make no sense whatsoever.

Yes he will. Just not right away.
