Longtime New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees knew the 2020 season would be his last, and retirement was something he'd started to consider "probably two, three years ago."
Brees told Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk on PFT PM that he got a "big kick" out of the speculation he was preparing to continue his career after his trainer, Todd Durkin, posted a short video of him working out in February without any context:
“He posted that and he texted me, 'Watch what this stirs up.' It was pretty funny. I knew I was retiring.
