Drew Brees

Reports surfaced on Sunday that the former Saints star was leaving his role as analyst for NBC after just one season.

In his tweet, Brees floated the idea of working for NBC again next year, but he didn’t mention the possibility of moving to a different network. The New York Post‘s Andrew Marchand reported earlier Sunday that NBC and Brees had mutually agreed to part ways, with some discrepancy about what Brees’s role with the network would be. Brees last played in 2020, appearing in 12 games for New Orleans and throwing for 2,942 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees will not return to NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, according to sources.

The No. 2 jobs do not pay like the No. 1 gigs, so Brees would have to truly want to call NFL games. Greg Olsen and Fox have already begun discussions to make Olsen the No. 1 analyst, according to sources. If Olsen moves up to the top booth, Fox would have an opening for its No. 2 spot and Brees is considered a candidate. “I may work for NBC, I may play football again, I may focus on business and philanthropy, I may train for the pickleball tour, senior golf tour, coach my kids or all of the above. NBC soured on Brees’ potential after originally believing he could develop into the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on “Sunday Night Football” games. Olsen and Burkhardt were partners last season in Olsen’s rookie broadcasting year.

Brees isn't sure what he wants to do in 2022 just yet.

It's tough to tell if Brees is serious about a potential return to football, but now that he's brought it up in his tweet, questions will continue to be asked. If we are going to take Brees' comments on returning to football seriously, then we will have to do the same for his thoughts on joining the pickleball tour. Though he said the reports were not accurate, he added that returning to the field was a possibility.

Drew Brees, uno de los mejores quarterbacks de los últimos tiempos y futuro miembro del Salón de la Fama está en medio de la crisis de los 40....

Existe otro rumor de que Brees podría emigrar a la cadena Fox Sports, ya sea como analista principal, mientras Tom Brady decide retirarse, aparentemente, al final del 2022. Luego de tener una trayectoria brillantísima con los New Orleans Saints y un año como comentarista de la cadena NBC, no ha decidido a qué se dedicará a partir del otoño. Drew Brees explicó que solo tuvo la oportunidad de desarrollarse como analista en partidos de futbol americano universitario con la Universidad de Notre Dame y no se sintió cómodo. Por lo que la ruptura con NBC significaría tener que buscar otro trabajo...

On Brees' end, he preferred calling NFL games as opposed to being a featured analyst on "Football Night In America." However, Marchand reports that NBC "didn't ...

Marchand also notes that Amazon is an option for Brees. So, it seems that one of those two networks will sign him if he wants to continue calling games. As for Brees, he may have an opportunity to call NFL games in the near future. However, if Olsen is elevated, Fox would have a need for an analyst on its No. 2 team. In particular, Marchand cited Brees' "poor" performance in the Bengals-Raiders playoff game as something that solidified NBC's opinion of the green broadcaster. So, as long as Collinsworth continues to call a majority of the games, Brees would be limited to calling Notre Dame games on Saturday. NBC had viewed Brees as a rising star during the end of his NFL career, as did other networks.

El hoy analista y ex quarterback publicó un misterioso mensaje en sus redes sociales.

Puedo trabajar para NBC, puedo volver a jugar futbol americano, puedo concentrarme en los negocios y la filantropía, puedo entrenar para la gira de pickleball, la gira de golf para personas mayores, entrenar a mis hijos o todo lo anterior. Yo lo haré saber". Haber visto jugar en gran nivel a Tom Brady a los 44 años es motivante para cualquiera y saber que continuará activo sin duda lo es más. Drew Brees parece no ser la excepción y lo demostró con el misterioso mensaje que publicó en su cuenta oficial de Twitter.

It started with a report that he's leaving NBC. It escalated into something much more significant. Following a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York ...

Thus, if he’s going to be leaving NBC, something needs to happen with the balance of his deal. His official position as stated on Twitter could be part of an effort to leverage a buyout. Following a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post that future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees will be leaving NBC, Brees said this on Twitter: “Despite speculation from media about my future this fall, I’m currently undecided.

Drew Brees, exquarterback de los San Diego Chargers y New Orleans Saints, se convirtió analista de las transmisiones de la NFL y football universitario ...

Podría trabajar para NBC, podría volver a jugar football, podría enfocarme en mis negocios y filantropía, jugar golf, entrenar a mis hijos o hacer todas las anteriores. “A pesar de la especulación de los medios de comunicación sobre mi futuro en el otoño, actualmente no he decidido. En el caso de que Brees no mantenga su relación laboral con NBC, el antiguo quarterback podría mantenerse en las cabinas de televisión debido a los múltiples cambios que ha habido recientemente en Amazon, FOX y otras cadenas.

Drew Brees added more speculation about his future with a social media post to address his status at NBC.

It sort of feels like a Sean Payton-type of play call with the sarcasm and wit. Nevertheless, it was a perfect play call by Brees on a Sunday night! Later, Brees called a reverse on the play and threw the media and his critics off course -- and a little shade on the way.

The team also added veteran journeyman Andy Dalton on a one-year deal in March. It marked the first time Brees ever threw three interceptions in a playoff game. I’ll let you know.”

Saying he was 'undecided' about his future, the ex-quarterback could have options that include moving to another network as an NFL game analyst.

Or perhaps Brees will examine the numerous options he outlined Sunday and choose to get into professional pickleball. However, he posted solid numbers when on the field and could be salivating over a Saints wide receiver corps featuring Landry alongside Michael Thomas and explosive first-round draft pick Chris Olave. Jerry Brewer: “In this NFL draft, patience defeated desperation for once. Alternatively, Brees could come back to play for a different team. NBC is set to televise just one NFL game per week this fall and still has longtime game analyst Cris Collinsworth to fill his familiar role on Sunday nights. Even if Olsen or someone else gets that gig, Fox could have a need for an analyst on its No. 2 team, giving Brees multiple potential opportunities there.

Asked if he thinks Brees could still play, Allen wouldn't answer directly. “I don't really want to live in those hypothetical worlds right now,” Allen said. “We ...

The 43-year-old Brees last played in 2020, and he still put up solid numbers despite his arm strength appearing to have lessened from his prime. “I think it was a comment made in jest and we certainly haven’t had any conversations in that regard.” “My wife’s the one that told me about it because I don’t follow social media.

After a 2020 season in which he completed 275 of 390 passes for 2,942 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions in the regular season, and helped the ...

Brees and the network agreed to terminate the contract, as Brees preferred to do games as opposed to discussing them in the Football Night in America panel, and as the network didn’t have any other games for him to do, that was that. Brees turned 43 on January 15, and he hasn’t played since January 17, 2021, when his Saints lost in that divisional round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, throwing three interceptions in a 30-20 loss. After a 2020 season in which he completed 275 of 390 passes for 2,942 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions in the regular season, and helped the Saints get to the divisional round of the playoffs, Drew Brees retired from football.

Future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees tweeted over the weekend that he "may play football again," but Saints head coach Dennis Allen isn't planning for ...

As Allen said and as indicated by Brees' mention of "the pickleball tour," there's no reason to see Brees' tweet as anything other than a playful joke. He's since spent time working for NBC as an analyst and gave no indication prior to Sunday he was considering a return to the field. That'll bring up some questions tomorrow at the golf tournament,'" Allen said Monday, via WDSU's Fletcher Mackel. "Certainly, I think it was a comment made in jest and we certainly haven't had any conversations in that regard.

Saints coach Dennis Allen says a cryptic tweet by Drew Brees, who hinted at a possible return to football, was likely "made in jest."

"We'll see where it all goes, but he caused a lot of interest, that's for sure." Man..signing— Drew Brees (@drewbrees) @juice_landryand @mathieu_eramakes me want to come back and play again!!! I'll let you know— Drew Brees (@drewbrees) May 15, 2022

Drew Brees' NBC tenure came and went like a cool … breeze. Brees' NBC stint was equal parts short and uneventful: On May 15, reports indicated that the ...

That could also signal that he could look to return to the field. There's also the matter of salary cap and future cap implications. In Brees' last season in 2020, it was apparent that his physical traits had been deteriorating. In May, he announced that he'd undergone shoulder surgery to "clean up some things." "Man..signing .@juice_landry and @mathieu_era makes me want to come back and play again!!! I'll let you know," Brees tweeted on Sunday.

He might find himself back in a broadcast booth. He might pull a Tom Brady and end up on the football field again. Maybe he'll work on his golf game, or pick up ...

Brees retired after the 2020 NFL season and jumped to the broadcast booth with NBC, calling Notre Dame football games and some NFL games. Brees spent 20 seasons with the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints, throwing for 80,358 yards and 571 touchdowns. "I may work for NBC, I may play football again, I may focus on business and philanthropy, I may train for the pickleball tour, senior golf tour, coach my kids or all of the above.

In theory, Brees throwing passes to DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Noah Fant would be a sight to behold. But for several reasons - some obvious and some not ...

Based on how things played out with Wilson over the past several years, it's also debatable if the defensive-minded Carroll and Brees could co-exist from a philosophy standpoint. The tweet came on the heels of a report he would not be returning to NBC as a broadcaster in 2022. The Seahawks could certainly do much worse in the stop-gap quarterback department and even given his diminished arm strength, it's possible he could be a better option than what they currently have on the roster given his accuracy and experience. First off, if Brees truly does want to play again, it seems unlikely he would want to do so for anyone other than the Saints, who currently have Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, and Andy Dalton atop the depth chart. He played his final 12 seasons in New Orleans and coming back to play for any other team would simply feel wrong. From a storyline standpoint, Brees ending his one-year retirement to throw passes to DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Noah Fant would be fascinating.

For 15 years, the Sean Payton and Drew Brees-led New Orleans Saints constantly gave the Carolina Panthers nightmares. But now, it feels like we're living in ...

Fellow legend and NFC South quarterback Tom Brady has since surpassed Brees in both categories, which may be helping fuel the competitive juices for a potential comeback. And was Brees just throwing out a misdirection play with his tweets?” “As for other teams, the Seahawks might fit despite their talking-up of Drew Lock, and the Panthers could be just desperate enough to make a run at Brees. But we’re getting way ahead of ourselves.

Drew Brees raised a few eyebrows Sunday night when he tweeted about possibly playing football again this fall.

"I may work for NBC, I may play football again, I may focus on business and philanthropy, I may train for the pickleball tour, senior golf tour, coach my kids or all of the above. "I don't really want to live in those hypothetical worlds right now," he said. "Despite speculation from media about my future this fall, I’m currently undecided," Brees wrote on Twitter, apparently in response to the report.

New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen downplayed the seriousness of Drew Brees' comments on a potential NFL comeback.

Stay tuned to see where he’ll end up, but the Saints don’t expect it to be New Orleans. The Saints’ depth chart is in place with Jameis Winston returning as the unquestioned starter and veteran backup Andy Dalton at the ready behind him. But Saints coach Dennis Allen isn’t buying it.
