METAIRIE, La. -- No, quarterback Drew Brees has not officially announced his retirement yet. And yes, Russell Wilson’s agent has identified the New Orleans Saints as a preferred destination if he gets traded.
But if you’re handicapping the Saints’ quarterback field for 2021, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill remain the odds-on favorites to compete for the job this summer.
Of course the Saints could consider a splash move like trading a truckload of draft picks for Wilson (if he actually becomes available) or moving up 20-plus spots in the NFL draft to get their hands on a top-five QB prospect.
