WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Drew Brees' age might be a sticking point in his contract negotiations with the New Orleans Saints. But the 37-year-old quarterback insisted Thursday that he can keep playing at a high level into his 40s, "without question."

"I don't see any reason why I can't play at the highest level for the next five years. Minimum," Brees said.

"Listen, I'm not naïve and I'm not looking five years from now. I'm really looking at each and every year understanding I gotta prove it. I gotta prove that I'm the best guy to lead this team.
