Drew Brees 'very convinced' Saints will win another Super Bowl before he retires

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees once said his goal is to play until he's 45. That may not be feasible, but whenever he calls it quits, he's sure he'll leave with a second Lombardi Trophy.

Brees told Ed Werder of ESPN he's certain the Saints will win another championship with him at the helm.

"I'm very convinced," Brees said, as transcribed by The Times-Picayune. "It's what drives me and keeps me going."

That may be a challenge in the near future, as the Saints appeared to be rebuilding this offseason. They even traded away Brees's favorite target, Jimmy Graham, which upset the signal-caller.

"I was heartbroken, because Jimmy's become a very close friend," Brees said. "We had five great years together, and I think just the unexpectedness of it. We had big plans for the next few years and more so than anything else it's just not being able to see that guy every day. He's a joy to be around."

Getting back to the Super Bowl with this current group will be difficult, but Brees's ultimate goal is just to keep playing and have fun for as long as he can.

"I'm not naive to knowing that I'm on a series of one-year contracts, just like everyone else in the league," Brees said. "I feel like I can find that juice. I've got it. It's there. I'll keep having fun and keep slinging it around."
