Drew Brees is out after one season as an NFL analyst on NBC. The longtime New Orleans Saints quarterback retired last year after 20 seasons in the NFL and joined NBC Sports in March of last year. NFL fans shared their thoughts on social media about the former Saints quarterback losing his job after only one year as an analyst.

Where Does Drew Brees Go Next?
The decision between the Super Bowl-winning quarterback and NBC seemed to be a mutual split, as he wanted to call games over doing the “Football Night in America” studio show.
NBC didn’t have many NFL games to offer the 13-time Pro Bowler. NBC initially believed Brees had the potential to be molded into the heir apparent to analyst Cris Collinsworth on “Sunday Night Football."
Possible destinations for the quarterback could be at Fox as their number two analyst or at Amazon. We'll see where the 43-year-old future Hall of Fame quarterback ends up for the 2022 season.
