Is Drew Brees' number " Officially retired" by the team ???.........

There are only 100 numbers to play with. Teams that have been in the league for 50 plus years can't afford to retire many numbers.
I always remember Ricky Jackson, Willie Roaf, Morton Andersen, Drew Brees and others for their play.
Possibly, but considering there are a fairly large minority of Saints fans alive today that are either too young or werent alive in the 1980's and early 1990's to witness, see, and fully understand, and appreciate in the context of those moments just how momentous, decisive, clutch, and dominant as players Morten, Rickey Jackson, or even Willie Roaf were. Sure, they may know who they are or were, be familiar with the stats, the accomplishments, platitudes, mightve seen or were told of some of their greatest highlights by older relatives, family members, but those great 1980's, early 90's Saints players: they were the first generation of Saints players that were consistently good, and made the team winners for the first time since our franchise's inception.
