Could announce retirement soon Coach Sean Payton told Will Brinson of CBS Sports' "Pick Six Podcast" on Wednesday that he expects Brees to make a decision on whether he'll retire within the next couple weeks. Impact Payton seemed to hint that Brees is headed for retirement, though it's possible the 42-year-old could surprise and choose to return for another season in 2021. The quarterback completed at least 70 percent of his passes for a fifth straight season in 2020, but the Saints once again came up short in the playoffs -- a recurring theme throughout the second half of Brees' career. Payton has been clear about his desire to re-sign Jameis Winston, so the Saints seem to be preparing for a future without Brees.
