Brady opted to leave New England following the 2019 NFL season, continuing his career in Tampa. Brees announced earlier this offseason that he will be playing for the Saints for at least one more season before considering retirement.

Both quarterbacks are over the age of 40 and will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame when their careers do come to an end.

The NFL is planning to release a full 17-week schedule for the 2020 season tonight.
