Saints quarterback Drew Brees is reportedly playing New Orleans for the last time tonight, and his final NFL game is tonight, the NFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl.

FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer said on today’s pre-game show that Brees will be retiring after the playoffs are over.

“Drew Brees, tonight will be his last Superdome game,” said Glazer. “And whenever his last game is, if they lose tonight, if they lose next week, this will be the last game he plays in the NFL. Drew Brees will be done. That’s it. Tom Brady will continue. Drew Brees, this will be his last game in the Superdome.

Brees has not announced whether or not he will retire, and the Saints have said he is welcome if he wants to return. But it looks like the decision has been made and Brees is just waiting for the right time to make it public.
