If this NFL offseason has taughtus something is that anything can happen. Tom Bradyâs retirement lasted just 40 days, so it wouldnât 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, itâs a huge NFC South rival who could follow his steps next, as New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees isnât 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
âLegendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees will not return to NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, according to sources,â reported Andrew Marchand of The New York Post.
âThe decision seemed mutual as Brees preferred doing games over the âFootball Night in Americaâstudio show, and NBC didnât have many NFL games to offer him,â Marchand continued. âNBC soured on Breesâ potential after originally believing he could develop into the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on âSunday Night Footballâgames.â
Brees Doesnât Know What The Future Holds, Doesnât 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 hasnât ruled out coming back to NBC. If anything, everythingâ including an NFL comebackâ is on the table:
âDespite speculation from media about my future this fall, Iâm 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. Iâll let you know,â 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.
