New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees plans to play out the final year of his deal without an extension in 2017.
"I'm just taking it one year at a time, honestly, because I certainly don't want to miss out," the 37-year old quarterback said. "I understand that I'm more toward the end of my career than I am the beginning and so time is limited. I can't tell you how long that's going to be." Brees hasn't slowed down a bit, but football does become a year-to-year proposition at his age. Ultimately, it would not be surprising for Brees to have a year tacked onto his contract this offseason.
Brees came in a stunning fourth in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs. He also posted a 54.14 percent Passing Success Rate, second-best among the same players.
