Gonna go ahead and call Drew Brees the best free agent signing in NFL history. Turned a losing franchise with almost no history of success into a consistent winner for 15 years

Congrats to Drew Brees. Going out on his terms, raising the bar on the position and inspiring young people who supposedly didn’t fit the physical specs to play QB to keep pursuing their dreams
