Drew Brees offers clarification about plans for upcoming NFL season
Drew Brees may not be leaving NBC Sports after all.
The former New Orleans Saints quarterback, who joined NBC Sports last season as an NFL analyst, clarified his plans after a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post suggested Brees is not returning to NBC.
It appears Brees has several options, and he laid out a list of scenarios, both personally and professionally, with a tweet on Sunday evening.
“Despite speculation from media about my future this fall, I’m currently undecided. 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’ll let you know.”

If Brees, in fact, steps down, some of the reasons may point to his up and down rookie season that was highlighted by a poor performance in his biggest broadcast of the year, the Bengals-Raiders playoff game.
I think he has a few good years left in him if he’s healthy. I would LOVE to see him in Atlanta. Providing he doesn’t ask too much. Because I doubt Atlanta can pay.
Dropping Matt Ryan was right, I believe. Eating most of his salary was crazy and unnecessary!!! As usual we got nothing for him or Julio!!! Has we been attempting to trade for either guy. Atlanta would likely have given up 2 first round picks and a few others. We always have terrible front office people.
Drafting Drake London #1 was pure stupidity!!! The guy has no real speed. Only size and decent hands. But look at the competition he played against. The ZERO DEFENSE league!!!!!
Aside from the UGA pick. I’m not certain any of these guys can start! They will start because that’s what you do. But all horrible picks. Including another BIG BUST from Penn state as a pass-rusher!!!!!
PS. Had they played their cards right. They could have had Jordan Davis, Nekobe Dean and Lewis Cine to make their defense much much much better immediately!!!!
BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THIS IS ATLANTA!!!!
