NEW ORLEANS (press release) – After a 20-year playing career in the National Football League, the last 15 with the New Orleans Saints, quarterback Drew Brees announced his retirement. Here is the full press release from the New Orleans Saints.
The news comes 15 years to the day when he agreed to terms to sign with the Saints, the start of a relationship that has been bountiful for the signal-caller, the team and the Gulf South community. Brees was a 15-year team captain and led the Saints to nine playoff appearances, seven division titles, including four consecutive from 2017-2020, and the Super Bowl XLIV championship, where he was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
