Legendary QB drops major career hint after quitting analyst role

Could Drew Brees be plotting a Tom Brady-style return to the NFL?

Hours after The Post’s Andrew Marchand reported that Brees was done at NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, the former Saints quarterback, 42, responded to the story on Twitter, appearing to hint that he could possibly come out of retirement.

“I 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’ll let you know.”

Brees announced his retirement last March after the 2020-21 season, which included a message to fans that he would transition into the broadcast world as an analyst for NBC Sports.

He retired as the NFL’s all-time leader in career passing yards (80,358).
