Oops.
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton admitted to reporters on Wednesday that he misspoke when he said during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN's Get Up! that 2020 will be 41-year-old All-Pro quarterback Drew Brees' "final season."
"I'm a big dummy," Payton said on a call with reporters. "I think his plan is to take it year by year."
Payton's full comments from Get Up!, which centered around backup hybrid quarterback Taysom Hill, are below:
"I think the role is pretty clear, and first and foremost, we still view him as a quarterback, and we spent a lot of time this offseason discussing our vision for him this season at quarterback, but then also at the F-position.
