If Brees gets his second Super Bowl win this year, will he retire or play at least through his contract?

Re: Question for the Forum
 

i dont think so

Re: Question for the Forum
 

I think about this from time to time. I absolutely would if I were him. He’ll be 40 and that’s a nice symbolic age to start the next phase of life. It’s so rare for a legend to have the opportunity to go out on top.

On the other hand though, we’d have $21 million in dead cap from Brees retiring.

Completion % 75.8 TD's 8 INT 0 Drew is still playing lights out, is still healthy...even if he gets his second ring as long as he's healthy he'll be back next year. As great as he is, he's been continually underrated through out his career and still is today even though he's domino-ing the big records. I think that will keep him going until he can't play anymore.

I think it depends heavily on what Payton does. I feel like they’d both ride off into the sunset and/or new teams

Re: Question for the Forum
 

Considering how he has been slighted by the sports media, as long as he’s healthy, I could see him playing until his numbers are so big that all the sports writers who ignored him will have long died before his records fall.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

I believe Brees keeps playing. The way QBs are overprotected, he could go another 7 years.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

I think he would stay. He’s to competitive not to. As long as he feels like he can go out and compete on a high level he will play.

Three Dat!

Agree with these. Brees has stated that as long as he enjoys what he is doing and he can do it at a high level he will continue. As an added incentive, he has also said he wants each of his children to see, understand and enjoy what he is doing with his career. His daughter, Rylen, is only around four now, right? It'll be a few more years until she understands what's going on in the game.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

Why can't he get one this year and another one next year?

Re: Question for the Forum
 

If not for Brady I would say he would retire but the bar has been raised. That's what Brees is about. If the bar is there and he still is playing with dignity he is going for it.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

Good young team around him. Unless hurt he keeps breaking records

Re: Question for the Forum
 

^^^^

This. I can't see him retiring until Brady retires. Regardless of what he says those records are very important to him

Re: Question for the Forum
 

With these relaxed rushing the passer rules, he's got another ten years to go!

Dilly Dilly!



All jokes aside... we're likely looking at 2-3 years.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

No pressure on him to retire. He's in great shape and has a good OL and running game to keep him from wearing down.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

How many 39 year old QB's can do this :p ?

Not Michael Vick, that's for sure... he was out of football at 39.

Nailed it!!!:stupid:

Re: Question for the Forum
 

Think about it. Brees is poised to pass Manning on Monday nigh and will end the evening with somewhere around 72,000 yards. Using 2017 as a new Brees standard, he should average about 250 yards per game and will finish the 2018 season at 75,000 yards.

If he plays another three years maintaining his 2017 average he would end his career at 87,000 yards. Throw in playoff games, etc and it's conceivable that he could top 90,000 yards, all while setting records for completion percentages, TD's, etc. and most years w/out a star receiver.

Records are made to be broken, but a 90,000 yard record will be around longer than I will. I'll be able to go to my grave knowing that Drew Brees, QB of the NO Saints, was the best there ever was.

Re: Question for the Forum
 

Drew Brees plays up until the primaries of the 2020 Presidential Election.
Soon after that we will be calling him Commander In Chief. Sir.....

18-1

Re: Question for the Forum
 

Brees' game is at such a high level right now, I just don't see it.
