Why is Brady absolutely staying but Brees absolutely retiring?

Brady’s actually older, both have families with young kids... what’s the difference?

Brees' arm and contract are done, and he has a TV gig already line up.

Because Brady can still get the ball 55 yds downfield?

Brees reportedly has a big money contract to join NBC once he retires

that's the big difference

Both their arms have declined but they’re still top-10 NFL QBs

Giselle is probably a nagging bitch and he just wants to play to stay away from her.

I’d say Brees’s arm has declined more. Plus I think Brees is fine with retiring now. Brady isn’t.

Nobody knows about either for sure. But judging from the fan eye test Brees is running on fumes while Brady looks like he has a couple more years in him

Brady already said he's playing until he's 45.

Summer tensions & multiple cracked ribs & partially collapsed lung make Brees decision easier.

He had a serious knee injury like 10 years ago.

Brees getting seriously hurt in back to back seasons. Brady drinking virgin blood and kissing boys on the lips to stay young.

I think it's more about him believing the time is right for him to go. He already has big money, businesses, endorsement deals. He will command a big money TV contract regardless of whether he goes out this year or next. The TV contract will be there.

Perhaps word has trickled through the halls of NBC that Brees will be in the booth next season.

He wants to play to 50 so he can have all the records.
