One and done. Legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees will not return to NBC after just one season as a studio and game analyst, according to sources.

The decision seemed mutual as Brees preferred doing games over the “Football Night in America” studio show, and NBC didn’t have many NFL games to offer him. NBC soured on Brees’ potential after originally believing he could develop into the heir apparent to Cris Collinsworth on “Sunday Night Football” games.

On the air, Brees, 43, had an up and down rookie season that was highlighted by a poor performance in his biggest broadcast of the year, the Bengals-Raiders playoff game.

While Brees is done with NBC, there is still a possibility he could end up in an NFL booth next year as Fox still has to fill its top game analyst positions for this year as Tom Brady won’t start until after he finishes playing.

He's too nice for a color commentator. Would do better if he stays an analyst.

He isn't willing to call people out during games like say Troy Aikman is willing to.

Get out of the homer stage and it's okay to admit he was awful. I don't think Payton will be much better.

Brees was hot garbage. In that playoff game all he kept talking about was how everything was magnified in the playoffs.

Sacrificed his principles for the TV money and, in the end, loses both.

I called this. He was pretty terrible as a commentator on NBC. He’s too bland and vanilla. It’s like he’s scared to say something dumb and offend somebody.


I was really surprised too because I kind of expected him to be way better at it.

What a loser. Ruined his sterling reputation with the most passionate portion of his fan base just for an extra $7 million
