According to reports, it appears that Drew Brees is indeed returning to the New Orleans Saints for the 2020 season. This news comes after months of speculation and rumors surrounding his future with the team.
Brees, who will turn 41 in January, is coming off a season in which he threw for 2,979 yards and 27 touchdowns. He also led the Saints to an NFC South division title and a berth in the NFC Championship game.
Despite his age, Brees remains one of the NFL's most efficient quarterbacks. He finished the 2019 season with a completion percentage of 74.3%, which was the second-best mark of his career.
It's unclear what kind of contract Brees will sign with the Saints, but it's likely that he'll receive a raise from his current annual salary of $25 million. Regardless of how much he ultimately signs for, it's clear that Brees is still among the best quarterbacks in the NFL and will be a key player for the Saints as they look to make another run at a Super Bowl title in 2020.
