“Drew Brees – tonight will be the last game he plays at the Superdome,” Glazer said during the FOX prediction broadcast. “And when his last game is – if they lose tonight, if they lose next week – it will be the last game he plays in the NFL.”
Glazer was asked if it was only his belief that Brees was retiring, or that it was an actual report. He responded by saying, “No, that’s it. Drew Brees will be done.”

Brees, who has just finished his 20th NFL season, finished with 2,942 yards, 24 touchdowns, and only six interceptions, while completing 70.5% of his passes in 12 games in the regular season. Brees missed four games after suffering injuries to his ribs in Week 10 and a lung that fell back.
Brees signed a broadcast contract with NBC in the spring of last year, and he is expected to move on to the role of analyst or color commentator soon.
