If this NFL offseason has taughtus something is that anything can happen. Tom Bradyās retirement lasted just 40 days, so it wouldnāt be shocking to thinkthat some of his colleagues could be inspired by his comeback.
Brady convinced Rob Gronkowski to return from retirement after one year on the shelf. Moreover, he reportedly reached out to Julian Edelman to try and get him back on the field for the upcoming season.
However, itās a huge NFC South rival who could follow his steps next, as New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees isnāt coming back to NBC for the upcoming campaign. Instead, his future could be on the field again.
NFL News: Drew Brees May Not Come Back To NBC For Next Season
āLegendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees will not return to NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, according to sources,ā reported Andrew Marchand of The New York Post.
āThe decision seemed mutual as Brees preferred doing games over the āFootball Night in Americaāstudio show, and NBC didnāt have many NFL games to offer him,ā Marchand continued. āNBC soured on Breesā potential after originally believing he could develop into the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on āSunday Night Footballāgames.ā
Brees Doesnāt Know What The Future Holds, Doesnāt Rule Out A Comeback
Brees, who played through a plethora of injuries in his final two seasons, was quick to let everybody know that he hasnāt ruled out coming back to NBC. If anything, everythingā including an NFL comebackā is on the table:
āDespite speculation from media about my future this fall, Iām 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. Iāll let you know,ā the Saints legend tweeted.
The Saints would gladly welcome back Brees in a heartbeat, especially after drafting Chris Olave and signing Jarvis Landry. But then again, Jameis Winston may not be pleased to hear about this.
