Saints quarterback Drew Brees is likely to retire after the 2020 postseason, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Brees, 41, is currently in his 20th NFL season. He threw for 2,942 yards and 24 touchdowns in 12 starts this season, leading the Saints to their fourth straight NFC South title. Brees currently sits atop the all-time passing yards list and trails only Tom Brady in career touchdown passes.
"I have yet to talk to one person who believes that Drew Brees will play in 2021," Rapoport said on Sunday morning. "He has not made clear his decision, he has not announced definitively that he is retiring after the playoffs, but certainly that seems to be the way this is headed.
