Demario Davis wants Drew Brees to return to Saints next season

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees may be set to retire this offseason. However, at least one Saints player wants him to return next season, and the same can likely be said for other members of the franchise.

Saints linebacker Demario Davis said on NFL Network that he genuinely hopes Brees returns for at least one more season. 

"I hope so," Davis said on NFL Network. "I sure hope so. I would feel much better if I could guarantee that he was. But I guess the only way I could be able to guarantee [a comeback] was if one of y'all said something reckless, like, 'He's finished,' or something, then I could guarantee he's coming back. But I sure hope so."

Brees has contemplated retirement in the past and has already agreed to a broadcasting job with NBC Sports for post-NFL life.

The 13-time Pro Bowler, who will eventually be in the Hall of Fame, won the Super Bowl with the Saints in 2010 and hoped to end his career on a high note with another championship win this season before Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended New Orleans' run.
