Report: Drew Brees to Join NBC Sports After Retirement

Saints quarterback Drew Brees recently agreed to a two-year extension with New Orleans this offseason, but the NFL star already knows what team he'll be joining after his retirement from football.

According to the New York Post's Andrew Marchand, Brees will join NBC Sports to serve a prominent role in their football broadcasts in a contract that will begin after he leaves the NFL.

Per Marchand, Brees could be groomed as a potential replacement for Cris Collinsworth on "Sunday Night Football."

“Like all NFL fans, we look forward to watching Drew continue his Hall of Fame career this fall, and we are confident his post-playing career will be just as successful,” NBC Sports spokesman Greg Hughes told The Post.
