New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees already has his post-playing career lined up.

It was just a few days ago that ESPN was chasing Brees, and apparently NBC had a more appealing offer.

Brees will be “groomed as the potential replacement for Cris Collinsworth” on ‘Sunday Night Football’ broadcasts, sources told Marchand.
Of course, this deal won’t take effect until after Brees decides to hang up his cleats.
