Saints' brass content to wait it out as QB Drew Brees ponders future

MOBILE, Ala. -- Drew Brees said he won't make a decision anytime soon on whether he is coming back for a 20th season at age 41. But New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said the Saints "obviously" want him back.

Brees is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent. But the quarterback made it clear the most recent time he was a free agent in 2018 that he has no desire to test the open market and will remain in New Orleans as long as he decides to keep playing.

"I wanted to give it at least a few weeks, months, postseason, just to take a deep breath and decompress a little bit and get some time with the family and then just reassess," Brees told ESPN's NFL Live while at the Pro Bowl on Wednesday.
