What It Means:

Brees said, "It's the same way I felt two days ago. It's the same way I felt 12 years ago. That is that I'll be here as long as they'll have me, hopefully." To his credit, the 39-year-old has been committed to the team and could play another two or three years at a high level. He can't be franchise tagged, which could get him some nice guaranteed money for his age. Brees made $19 million in 2017.

In leading the Saints to the Divisional Round of this year's playoffs, Brees threw for 4,334 yards and 23 touchdowns while completing 72% of his pass attempts.
