It’s not too often a future first ballot hall of famer, a consensus top tier quarterback of all time, who also happens to be your franchise’s best player ever retires and you still garner as much national intrigue as you have in the past. Apparently, the New Orleans Saints are finding themselves in this situation by way of the NFL schedule releasing. Despite Drew Brees retiring the Saints are going to be playing five primetime games this upcoming year.
In fact, the Saints were involved in four primetime games last season, although they hosted the Christmas Day game against the Minnesota Vikings which for all intents and purposes was prime time as well.
