Ought to we rule out pickleball for Drew Brees, too?
Saints coach Dennis Allen was requested about Brees’ tweet from Sunday night time, which was responding to a report by The Post’s Andrew Marchand that the quarterback was leaving NBC just after just one season.
“Despite speculation from media about my long term this slide, I’m presently undecided,” Brees wrote. “I may possibly function for NBC, I may perhaps enjoy football all over again, I may target on business and philanthropy, I may perhaps practice for the pickleball tour, senior golfing tour, mentor my young ones or all of the over. I’ll allow you know.”
Allen thinks the 43-yr-outdated Brees was kidding, and not seriously thinking about pulling a Tom Brady with a return to the discipline.
“My wife’s the a single that instructed me about it since I really do not adhere to social media. So I assumed, ‘That’s attention-grabbing, that’ll convey up some issues,’” Allen, who replaced Sean Payton this 12 months, told reporters on Monday.
“I think it was a remark created in jest and we certainly have not experienced any discussions in that regard.”
Brees went correct from the area to NBC studio function last period, but Marchand documented NBC soured on Brees as a prospective “Sunday Night Football” alternative for analyst Cris Collinsworth.
The Saints brought back again Jameis Winston as their setting up quarterback, nevertheless he is recovering from a torn ACL. Veteran Andy Dalton was signed in the offseason to serve as Winston’s backup.
Not precisely frustrating solutions in case Brees was significant about return.
“I really don't definitely want to reside in those hypothetical worlds proper now,” Allen said. “We’ll see where by it all goes. But surely, he caused a great deal of interest, which is for sure.”
