New Orleans Saints star Drew Brees has insisted that he isn't worried by the prospect of the organisation drafting another quarterback this year.

Brees laughed off rumours that he was being traded earlier this off-season, and now insists that it is up to the franchise as to what they choose to do to build the roster.

"Um, that's their prerogative," Brees said, according to ESPN.

"At the end of the day, you're trying to acquire talent and you're thinking long term. That doesn't change my mindset or my preparation or my approach one bit."

Saints coach Sean Payton has previously dismissed the suggestion that the team would trade up in order to select quarterback Marcus Mariota.
