Drew Brees, you talking about the sellout? I won't say how I really feel because I'll lose my announcer position.

Bend over when told to STFU by a teammate really shows his sensitive side

It seems you likely have never been a manager nor a leader of an organized team of any kind.

Re: Drew’s Final Regular Season Game?

Drew mentioned that he loves playing the game while his kids are now old enough to see him play . The older the kids get the more they want there dad to keep playing I’m sure.

Personally I think if he does walk you try to eat as much as you can in one year and use the year to rebuild asap to set up long term success. But that's a story for a different thread. The team cannot afford to not be looking at the possibility he doesn't return though.

I know that. You just pasted the scenario where he basically comes out and says he's retiring immediately after the season. Also included in the article is the scenario where he immediately commits to playing another year. I was just pointing out that these two scenarios are very unlikely given what he has said recently (as in the last few weeks). The other scenario addressed what is likely to happen.

"What if Brees is not sure he wants to retire and acts a bit like Brett Favre at the end of his career? One option is to add more void years to the contract, reduce his salary as above, and convert the $23.925 million to an option bonus that is due after the first game of the season. Under that type of contract Brees would count for $17.01 million, a savings of $19.14 million. If Brees does decide to retire the team would get the same savings as in the first scenario since the option would never be exercised. If he plays then you have a lot more dead money to deal with in 2022 but that is the price of Brees returning."

Depending how this playoff run goes and Brees’s performance down the stretch will be 30-40 % of the offseason decision to return. Makeup of the team and Payton/ Loomis’s process of eliminating those that can be replace that have not performed up to expectation and pay grade and who they keep as a supporting cast should he return ... 25+30%. The final part is his desire to continue will drive the decision if the Managment side gets the job done. I expect nothing from the Managment side.

The structure with a couple of /backup/starter quality backup on the roster leave a lot positives that could drive Drews decision.

Quality person and athlete and would not make the decision to stay if he did not feel he had something left to give for the benefit of this team and organization.

Re: Drew’s Final Regular Season Game?

After one and done in the playoffs Brees is done. The Bears are exactly the sort of team to knock us out yet again.

No confidence in the 2020 Saints squad?

I watched the Bears at great length last weekend vs GB and came away with meh … Mitch is still a pick 6 waiting to happen, Jimmy Graham is slow has alligator arms & disappears late, Allen Robinson is the only playmaker who has become frustrated & coach Nagy often times abandons his run game. IIRC Roquan Smith and the kid WR from Tulane could be out on Sunday. That would be huge losses on both sides of the ball. Saints present a bad match up for them.

It's the Playoffs - Any Given Sunday but the Bears ain't defeating New Orleans this weekend.
