Drew Brees' retirement talk isn't idle chatter
Saints quarterback Drew Brees will return to the team for a 15th season or retire.

I think there's probably a lot of truth to this. Best case scenario would be for Brady to retire and Drew to come back, and that way, there'll be no talk of chasing or preserving records.Brees is coming back. I’m 99.9% sure of it... However, should Tom Brady suddenly decide to retire before next season, then I think the odds Brees walks away escalate exponentially. Brees is ultra-competitive, and he realizes that he will always be considered “less than” the likes of Brady, Manning, and even Rodgers (by some)... Brees wants those records, and he doesn’t want to see a broke down Tom Brady steal them on his way out.
They grease the polls in New Orleans. LolWe know Payton talks to Glazer.
We know Payton talks to Florio.
This is one of two things:
1. Payton creating smoke so that he can finally draft a QB without worrying about getting jumped.
2. Payton genuinely wanting the transition to Taysom to happen, and the sooner, the better.
Either way, I find it interesting that Payton is saying publicly that they want Brees back 100%. Giving him the love he deserves as a legend.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, he's clearly greasing the rails to push him out, either this year or next.
One thing is certain, Payton is clearly trying to increase Hill's perceived value. The rest can be debated, but there is no doubt Payton wants everyone in the league to believe Hill is a Franchise QB. How much is truth and how much is trade baiting... that's the real question.

Honestly, none of this makes sense. I think it's a lot of smoke and we won't know where we stand until after the draft.So why isnt Sean talking up Teddy? Because he doesn't get anything if/when Teddy leaves. Why hasn't Teddy signed another contract? Makes you think Drew for sure is coming back. Makes no sense for Sean to fo all in on a qb who has thrown a handful of passes in the last couple of years. I can see a scenario where Coach Pete is right and Sean is trying to get a first for Taysom to package to try to get Burrow. Should he do it is another question.
