Brees currently has 77,416 yards passing, 547 passing touchdowns through 250 + games. He holds three of the four major all-time quarterbacking records: passing yards (77,416), passes completed (6,867) and passing touchdowns (547). 

Brees has been with the Saints since 2006 and will continue that legacy at least one more year. With Mardi Gras here, and Brees announcing his return, it truly is a time to rejoice New Orleans.
