The New Orleans Saints star quarterback and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Drew Brees may not be back for the 2021 season.
The 41-year-old Drew Brees signed a two-year contract last offseason, but he may cut that short and retire following the 2020 season. The Saints are in a good position to acquire or retain a competent, starter-worthy quarterback in case Brees does hang the cleats up.
