New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is 39 years old, and as he gets closer and closer to 40, there are more and more questions about how many more years he will be able to play in the NFL.
In a recent interview via NFL.com Brees admitted something that might be shocking to some fans. He played the 2017 season like it might be his last because he doesn't know how many more years he has left. Just because the Saints might not have many years left, many around the organization feel that the window is still open for the team to win another Super Bowl before he retires.
Saints quarterback coach Joe Lombardi knows he isn't going to play forever and thinks it adds a sense of urgency to the team.
“I think everyone realizes he’s not going to play for 10 more years, and, man, this window is open,” Lombardi said, via Herbie Teope of NFL Media. “Let’s go do it.”
Other players like Sheldon Rankins and Michael Thomas Thomas have talked about how they want to send out the future Hall of Famer out on top.
Brees hasn't talked about wanting to hang it up after this year but if he was already playing last year like it might be his last anything can happen.
The NFC is tough this year, and the Saints are going to have their hands full trying to get another Super Bowl win. If they were able to and Brees did retire, it would be a fitting end for such an amazing career.
