After reports stated that ESPN was one of the favorites to land Drew Brees into a broadcasting role, NBC seemed to have convinced the first-ballot Hall of Famer to join its sports network. With Tony Romo having recently received record-breaking contracts, hopes are that the New Orleans Saints star is just as good.
All that is set in stone right now is that Brees will suit up for at least one more season in the NFL, leaving his contract with a company like NBC rather flexible.
Brees could decide to play out both years of his contract in his efforts to attain another Super Bowl championship to enhance his legacy as one of the greatest signal-callers in NFL history.
