Every offseason list of potential free agents will have New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees near the top.
Apparently, you can prepare to take the 41-year-old off the board in the near future.
Speaking from his 13th Pro Bowl appearance, Brees told NFL Network’s Jane Slater that if he returns for a 20th NFL season, it will be with the Saints.
“I have never been in the situation where I was mulling over the thought of [returning],” Brees said. “To me, each one of these contracts, I don’t know how many it’s been with the Saints, I’ve played with them 14 years, it’s not a matter of if it gets done, it’s when. At this stage of my career, it’s not a given that I’m coming back every year, but when that time comes, I’ll always be a Saint.”
