Whenever that ride is over. Once again, nothing in the deal indicates his retiring after this coming season. It is based upon whenever he decides to retire. My bet is that ESPN wouldn't leave it open regarding starting year and NBC would.

AG,

Regardless of when Brees retires, it's been a wonderful ride. No where in my post did I mention when he will exit left.

If you believe that he will play 2+ seasons, that's your prerogative.

Nothing against your post. I just piggybacked it to re-stress the point that the apparent deal with NBC has no specific starting date for those assuming it definitely means 2020 is absolutely Brees' last season.

This is his last year. I really doubt he makes it through the whole season. His play may not have declined but his ability to stay healthy has.

He missed 5 games last year because of a freak accident caused by a POS left guard. His biggest problem is that his O line can't stay healthy.

I've been saying that for the last several years.
