You're also leaving out that they drafted Rivers, as well as the main reason why they moved on from Brees... Because he literally almost had his throwing arm ripped off his body...

He dislocated his shoulder through the bottom joint, which is very, very rare. Dr. James Andrews who did the surgery, said it was one of the most unique injuries of any athlete he's ever treated. Not only did he dislocate the shoulder very badly, he also had a 360 degree tear in his labrum and 50% tear in his rotator cuff.

Nobody knew if he'd ever play again after that injury, or for how long/how well if he could. That was a very serious injury and coupled with the fact they had just drafted Rivers and had to get him on the field, that's why Brees hit FA all the way back in 2006.

Manning, Favre, Montana, Warner, Gannon, Cousins etc.

So a few guys that were already locked into the HoF when they tried their hand at a couple last ditch efforts on a different team, after they spent 13+ years on a single team? 

Montana really wasn't even that good in his two years with the Chiefs. You could tell his days were over.

Favre had one bad year with the Jets. One good year with the Vikings, then one bad year with the Vikings after he left the Packers. That was with a young Adrian Peterson and he was running wild on everybody.

Manning is arguably the greatest QB ever and again, like the Brees situation, young QB and serious injury concerns (remember Manning missed the entire 2011 season because of his neck issues) pushed him out the door.

Warner was so up and down and really didn't do anything unless he had great weapons. He had some really ugly seasons in between his early days with the Rams and late days with the Cardinals. Honestly he's probably a little overrated at the end of the day and he wasn't really even that thought of when the Cards signed him. He was coming off 3 straight, back to back bad seasons with the Rams, then Giants.

Gannon? really... lol

Cousins? LOL Yea because he got the Vikings real far this season after they unloaded the truck on him huh..

Foles is literally Flacco 2.0. He's living off of his red hot Super Bowl run at the end of last season, where he was lucky enough to ride the wave of a red hot team. Flacco never came close to living up to the contract he got after his super bowl run and neither will Foles.
