NBC soured on Brees\u2019 potential after originally believing he could develop into the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d games.<\/p>\n<p>After the story was published, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drewbrees\/status\/1525989165824847873\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brees tweeted out a response,<\/a> saying his future at NBC is in limbo and he said there were some grand possibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite speculation from [the] media about my future this fall, I\u2019m currently undecided,\u201d Brees said. \u201cI 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\u2019ll let you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the air, Brees, 43, had an up and down rookie season that was highlighted by a poor performance in his biggest broadcast of the year, the Bengals-Raiders playoff game.<\/p>\n<p>While Brees is done with NBC, there is still a possibility he could end up <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/25\/drew-brees-could-move-from-nbc-to-fox-in-possible-nfl-tv-madness\/\">in an NFL booth next year as Fox<\/a> still has to fill its top game analyst positions for this year as <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/10\/tom-brady-joining-fox-sports-after-nfl-retirement\/\">Tom Brady won\u2019t start until after he finishes playing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Greg Olsen and Fox have already begun discussions to make Olsen the No. 1 analyst, according to sources. No contract is completed, but Olsen is on his way to standing next to Kevin Burkhardt on Super Bowl Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Fox has the big game in two of the next three years. Olsen and Burkhardt were partners last season in Olsen\u2019s rookie broadcasting year.<\/p>\n<p>If Olsen moves up to the top booth, Fox would have an opening for its No. 2 spot and Brees is considered a candidate. The No. 2 jobs do not pay like the No. 1 gigs, so Brees would have to truly want to call NFL games. There is a feeling that is still his desire.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/drew-brees-2.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Brees has expressed a preference to work in a booth as opposed to the studio.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Brees could possibly team with Joe Davis or Adam Amin on Fox\u2019s No. 2 team, which does call playoff games. Amazon could also maybe be a possible landing spot for Brees.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Brees called Notre Dame games with Mike Tirico. He also did the \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d pregame and a few NFL games.<\/p>\n<p>NBC Sports declined comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One and done.
