## Resource

Drew Brees nearly pulled off a comeback for the Denver Broncos last season, reportedly considering a late-career stint for their AFC championship game — but his arm, worn down by 20 NFL seasons and surgeries, just couldn’t cut it. A throw with his son sealed the deal: he was done. Meanwhile, head coach Sean Payton says he wasn’t in on any serious talks, emphasizing Brees initiated contact — painting a picture of miscommunication or at least differing perceptions about how far those discussions went. In the end, it was Brees’ body, not the Broncos’ interest, that ended the dream. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
