He wants to be in the booth and NBC thought America needed far less Drew Brees than that
Fox will probably hire him as color now, as they lost Buckman and are shaking their teams up (with Brady presumably joining next season too, although he’s probably a studio or special segments guy)
Drew Brees has left NBC and is now hinting at a return to playing.
Wasn't it more got fired for being boring?
Probably 'mutual decision'. So, yeah.
Which teams are in a position to go all-in on an old, retired QB?
His hometown Colts of course, though they filled their quota for this season already
Um….the Niners? Steelers?

According to Yahoo! Sports, NBC originally hoped he would take over for Collinsworth but he sucked in the booth so they kept him on the sideline desk and he didn't like it there.

Panthers would be fun, but Falcons would be funner.
I was just starting proper fandom of the NFL when Rodgers took over, and watching the beloved but aged cast-off go to a divisional rival who loathed him for over a decade, saw a lot of awesomely bad takes.
And that was before Twitter.
Bree's goes to Atlanta or Carolina, the shit talking will be epic.
Having Baker go to Pittsburgh, and the Steelers beating the Browns twice, and keep them out of the playoffs, it'd be the only thing that'd be more incendiary.
I would expect Fox to make him an offer. Their top color guy is Greg Olsen, and he's surprisingly really good at the job, but he's not a former QB with a profile like Brees. Then again, they have a lot of money tied up in Brady, so who knows? Maybe he takes less to get into the booth.
Honestly its annoying how starved for NFL content sports networks and feeder sights are. Like nhl play offs, nba play offs, MLB regular season, nope only football all the football FOOOTBALL!
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Olsen has surprised the hell out of me. He's my second favorite former player to do the job behind Romo.

Right? And it has largely gone unnoticed. He's got until Brady retires, while he's still the #1 guy on the network, to showcase what he does.

The sig image will return when I stop playing "Mature" games. Unless I never stop. Oh god, what if I never stop?
Call the burn ward for THAT one.
Cheap ass Dean Spanos will not even give the PR team a bonus for this awesomeness.
Chargers win the season.
HOLY SHIT

I noticed the Atlanta Falcon flew into a Waffle House sign said "28% off 3 Waffles". This thing keeps on giving.

That'd be almost as good as the Falcons/Panthers, but without two chances to beat them every season.
They cannot help themselves with this shit.
