Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

Brees isn’t going to last as long as everybody thinks. When he hits the cliff it’ll be sudden. You can see signs of his decline already. He’s still top 5 at the moment due to his uncanny accuracy and mind for the game, but he’s not what he used to be and I don’t foresee 3 more years. This year and next year is the best case scenario. If we win it all this year as I anticipate I don’t see him coming back...and now that we have Teddy...I’m perfectly fine with that.

Agree with almost all of that ... except ... Brees has stated many times that he has goals in mind before he retires. Yes, another Lombardi is one, but holding all of the all-time passing records is within reach and THAT will take this year and next for sure. When we win it all this year he'll just have to bring home number three.

Agree with this
Who knows when the decline happens but all to often in sports when it happens it happens fast and isn't pretty.

I agree that if we win it all this year it will be a very tempting way to go out.
