I love Brees. Great man. Great leader. HOF career. Will easily go down as the best Saints QB in my lifetime. Could very possibly own the only Saints Super Bowl win, ever. Defended him against the few who thought he should have retired prior to this season. But now, looking forward, I'm just over him as the only way the Saints can win and be competitive. The arm is done. It can only decline further. His salary would cause the team to lose at least two quality players on defense this off season. Also, I'm truly concerned about his health. The play that seriously injured him this year was not brutal by football standards. It's just time.

Agreed, if Drews contract meant we lost someone like Demario Davis I'd be incredibly annoyed.

I think Davis just signed a new deal this off-season.
But with the way their playing together, losing anyone of them would be huge.

Actually, Brees is under contract through 2021. IF he retires we take an immediate $22.65 million cap hit in dead money. If he decides to return his contract can be restructured as part of an extension which would free up cap space to help prevent losing key defensive players.

Also, he knows his body much better than any of us. If he isn't concerned about his welfare anymore than any other player then why should we be concerned?

This does not compute. Whether he can throw 20 yards or 50 yards there's no one I'd rather have leading this team. He helped the Saints come from behind against the NFL's golden boy to win the Superbowl and he's the consummate professional leader.

Whether he can throw 50 yards IS precisely the question that needs to be asked, well one of the questions. Along with whether he can improvise and do something with his feet instead of throwing it away. DB#9 has experience and he’s one of the most cerebral and accurate (0-20 yards) QB’s in the NFL but he’s not going to test a defense with his feet or a mid range to deep throw. $25 mil per year for a check down aged QB isn’t the right attitude to build the future team, imho. It’s holding onto the past and hoping the quadragenarian can make it through game after game, hit after hit, for one “final” championship. And he’s one of the least sacked QB’s on record, least hit also, but the body breaks down regardless of how well we take care of it as it ages, and injuries are more prevalent bc of it. Ice, I’m not saying you’re wrong, far from it. It’s a very good team, one that went 5-0 sans DB#9 last year and so far 3-0 this. The team is NOT just one player. This DB#9 is not the same DB#9 who won the SB. And it’s my belief that he’s only capable of running the Charlie checkdown portion of CSP’s playbook. And it limits the offense greatly.
