and honestly I don't think these players always know when it's going to be their last year.
Right. It’s pretty fluid. They may lean one way or the other, but they don’t know until they know. The conversation was had though. An exit strategy was in place. I firmly believe that if we don’t get fricked this year would have been year one post Brees. The chatter and the moves line up.

What a way to go out on a limb OP...there is a high chance that our 40 year old QB may retire at the end of the season.
especially at drews age. every year he is getting closer to retiring. this is not ground breaking evidence.
he may retire if we win it all this year. if not i can see him playing another year. I always knew he was plating until 40. i stated it here. shite he might play until 42. who knows. all we do know is yes we are getting closer. just like we are getting closer every minute to hitting 9:30 AM CST.

If a season ends it a SB win, it is Drew’s last year.
Been the case for 3 years and counting.

Honestly, this sounds pretty accurate based on how Payton had his eyes set on Pat Mahomes in the 2017 draft, the signing of Taysom Hill, trading for Teddy Bridgewater & comments from Brees almost a year ago.

For the past few years, Saints quarterback Drew Brees has indicated that he would like to play in the NFL until he's 45. However, it seems that Brees has recently had a change of heart, because it appears he no longer wants to play that long.
quote:
"Do I feel like I could play this game for a lot longer? Until I'm 45 and beyond? Yes I do, if that was truly what I wanted to do, I feel like I could do that, God willing, health wise and everything," Brees said. "But I'm telling you, I'll walk away from this game prior to that."
quote:
"When I do walk away it'll be because I want to spend more time with my family, because I'm ready for that next chapter, and I'll feel like I gave it everything I wanted to give it," Brees said.
quote:
"The season is a grind. Physically, mentally, and emotionally," Brees said. "To be fully invested in this requires a lot of time and a lot of energy. It obviously requires a lot of time away from the family as well."
quote:
"I don't know exactly when [retirement] will be yet, but what it has done is it made me value each and every day that much more," Brees said. "It's made me want to stay in the moment that much more because I just don't know when it will be over and I just want to maximize each and every second and enjoy each and every second because when I do walk away I don't want to say I wish I would have done things differently. I want to say, man I gave it everything I could and I'm just ready for the next chapter."

quote:
But he also knows he's closer to the end of his career than the beginning, a reality that has hit home in recent years, enough that he and his wife, Brittany, have talked about the inevitability of retirement.
“I have had real conversations with my wife over the last couple of years just talking about it, at some point and when," Brees said. "She looks me dead in the eye and says, 'we all support you with whatever you want, you play as long as you want to and we will be right here,' so that part of it makes it like 'I can go to work every day and know that.'"

Honestly, I don’t think anyone knows for sure other than Drew and his wife.

Or he could go out like Elway, repeat then retire.

I firmly believed that if we won last year, he'd retire after this year win or lose. He's so close to all of the major records that he wouldn't give it up.
But why after this year? Guys gotta get paid. The core one step closer to breaking (assumed losing peat and Unger this off season honestly, but Unger retired a year early).
But with that being said, if we win this year I think he goes one more and that's because of Brady and this years draft seems to ease the losses we will inevitably face.
