Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is officially out at NBC Sports after just one year.
NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua told Joe Reedy of the Associated Press that Brees wants to spend more time with his family:
"The unbelievable busyness of an NFL career and then really not taking a break at all and launching right in with us with both Notre Dame football and the NFL, it was certainly an around-the-clock assignment. This was definitely a lifestyle choice for him, which is totally understandable."
Brees signed a multi-year deal with NBC Sports in 2020 and joined the network as an analyst last year after retiring from the NFL.
