It's Official: Drew Brees Announces His Retirement
Drew Brees is retiring. The future Hall of Famer made the announcement on Sunday afternoon.
"After 20 years as a player in the NFL and 15 years as a Saint, it is time I retire from the game of football," Brees wrote on Instagram. "Each day, I poured my heart & soul into being your Quarterback. Til the very end, I exhausted myself to give everything I had to the Saints organization, my team, and the great city of New Orleans. We shared some amazing moments together, many of which are emblazoned in our hearts and minds and will forever be a part of us. You have molded me, strengthened me, inspired me, and given me a lifetime of memories. My goal for the last 15 years was striving to give to you everything you had given to me and more."
Brees, 42, played in the NFL for 20 seasons. He was a 13-time Pro Bowler, a Super Bowl champion and a one-time All-Pro.
Brees changed the Saints organization when he signed as a free agent in 2006. No one could've predicted the success he was going to have in New Orleans, but he defied the odds and became one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
