Does this one feel different ? (1 Viewer)

I believe 2020 will be his final season. He's going to tell the Saints he is coming back for one year as a "farewell" tour. Unlike Favre, he will heavily invest in mentoring his replacement if the Saints draft/sign a QB to be the heir to the throne this offseason. He will ride off into the sunset with class and leave the Saints with a QB he's helped show the path to greatness to.
 
I don’t see Drew as the “farewell tour” type. No rocking chairs, none of that kind of stuff. Maybe he will tell them confidentially that this is it, but I doubt it’s public.
 
Yes it feels different, he's never postponed his decision to play the following year like this. This really feels like 50/50. However.. I would be more surprised if he retired, as opposed to playing another year. Maybe that's just because I take him for granted over the last 14 years. Tough to think of someone else under center. From an organizational standpoint, we're in prime position to move on this year.. for better or worse with Teddy and/or Taysom. Next year we could find ourselves hung out to dry with no legit NFL caliber qb. 1 more year of Drew is worth it though.. ring or no ring.
 
This year definitely feels different, but I still think he comes back for one more shot at a SB.
 
once I saw the nfl bend over backwards to fork the saints at every possible opportunity I stopped really caring. honestly at this point I love my team but I no longer love the game. it is dishonest and fixed and doesnt even try to hide it. So no, I feel nothing the exact way I felt after "bountygate" and again how I felt after the incredible no call in the nfc championship game.
 
For the past 2 or 3 years, the possibility has become more and more real. Each year, Brees is a year older, and he's undoubtedly at the end. I just seriously don't believe he will go out like this, and I believe when he decides to hang it up, he will do so knowing that he did everything in his power to win another Super Bowl. He wants to be remembered as a 2 time Super Bowl champion. I believe he wants that more than anything and it will be the main deciding factor in returning for one more shot.
