Could be just a PR move. Id imagine all sides have made thier decision and are just waiting for the Superbowl to conclude before announcement.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis on future at QB: 'We'll wait for' Drew Brees to make his decision

The Saints head into the offseason with pressing questions at the quarterback position. First, as GM Mickey Loomis noted in an end-of-season press conference, the club awaits Drew Brees' decision on his future.

For those who have read his book or generally followed Drew Brees, they know that he is a spiritual person and felt led by divine intervention to come to New Orleans.

As such, I have no doubt that he is engaging in plenty of prayer and reflection to determine his playing future. If he receives revelation that it's time to hang it up and that his work is done, I'm sure he will. But if he is led to feel that there is still some more work left to do for him as a quarterback, then I doubt he will ignore that.

Just wondering though, why wait until after? Is there something that helps us cap wise if they wait? Rivers announced before the Super Bowl so was just wondering. He should announce on Super Bowl day to steal some of the spotlight

Nope. Loomis needs to do his job and get the process moving for our next franchise QB. And do it before some of the better options are gone. Brees is done...it’s obvious. And whose in charge here, a player or the GM? Time to move on!

I hope the Lord tells him to retire then.

I have no doubt that the front office is working on plans for every possible scenario, including Brees surprisingly coming back. But I can't imagine he comes back. The last couple of years he could at least say that the ball just didn't bounce his teams way. This year he just wasn't good enough. I'm also sure his wife is insisting he call it quits after all of the injuries this year.

Retire.

The entire city will hold a parade in his honor as a parting gift.

I think Loomis is just exercising PR now.

His answers are always vague. Front office more than likely know what Brees real intentions are and will do accordingly. Whatever plans or thinking will not be made public, especially in an interview. You think he is going to say what he is going to do. Most time, they don't know themselves. Pieces have to fall in place for anything to happen. There is still one more game to be played. Nothing is concrete. I have stop listening to any of his interview since 2016. His answers have always been general or secretive. And honestly, I totally respect that and prefer it. The media, other teams, and the general public don't need to know everything. Only thing we can do is to make threads here, speculate, play fantasy free agent and drafts picks.

A virtual parade on ZOOM?

$23 million we save with a 6/1 release. Just be patient.

Make Brees a QB coach. Done deal!

Does he have to wait that long to announce it?

Brees is probably just trying to keep the story focused on the two teams in the SB. Obviously I don’t know jack-squat, but I think his decision is already made and he’ll announce after the SB. That doesn’t mean that our front office is not already working on future moves, they always are. Succession planning never stops, unless you have a poorly run organization.

Erect a statue.

Like Carolina did for Sam Mills.



Have a citywide holiday in his honor called "Brees day."
