Good news for New Orleans Saints fans: Drew Brees isn’t retiring and will return for the 2020 season.
The 41-year-old, who’s the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards but has suffered a pair of painful postseason losses the last two years, posted on Instagram to say he wants to “Make another run at it.” Which means a second Super Bowl win for his career and the Saints franchise.
What Brees’ news probably means is that Saints backup quarterbacks, Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill, both could be gone by next season, especially since Hill thinks he’s a franchise QB and Bridgewater is an unrestricted free agent who helped the Saints go 5-0 in 2019 while Brees was injured
But the sense is that Saints will do what it takes to keep Hill which means Bridgewater will likely be playing elsewhere in 2020.
