Per a report by Andrew Marchand with The Athletic, Brees will be working the booth for either the Cowboys and Commanders or Lions and Vikings game for Netflix on Christmas Day.
After Brees retired from his incredible 20-year NFL career in 2021, he spent one-year as an analyst at NBC. Brees has said on several occasions since that when the time was right, he would like to return to the booth.
When appearing as a guest on “Going Long with Chase Daniel” in December, Brees told his former teammate, “I love the game. I love talking about the game. I love watching film. I love preparing and staying ahead of the game. The reality is that nobody sees the game or can predict the game like us. Those who have played the quarterback position at the highest level for a long period of time have the ability to communicate the game in a way that is just different. And I love doing that. And I think broadcasting, especially primetime games, in some of the biggest moments, with some of the best matchups, with some of the best quarterbacks, that’s where I think we can really provide some incredible insight.
“That’s the way I think about broadcasting. I’m sitting in the living room with everybody just talking ball and giving them a perspective that is so unique to anything that they’ve ever heard. Would I love to do that again? Absolutely. I think the timing is right. I think the timing is right with where my kids are now, where the family is, and what I’ve had a chance to do over the last couple of years, and coaching my kids, and getting them to high school, and now they’re playing high school ball. I mean, this is awesome. I would love to get back in the booth with the right opportunity, with the right people.”
Looks like Brees with get his 2nd chance in just a few months on one of Netflix’s two Christmas Day games.
