New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees won't be out of work long when he decides to call it quits on his Hall of Fame career.

According to a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, the perennial Pro Bowler is signing a deal with NBC Sports, moving him into an analyst gig following his retirement.

Marchand said the expectation is that Brees will "start as a game analyst on Notre Dame football" as well as a studio analyst on Football Night in America."

ESPN also made a play for Brees to join their Monday Night Football broadcast, as Marchand previously reported. The rival network looked to acquire Sunday Night Football play-by-play man Al Michaels, hoping to pair him with Peyton Manning. However, NBC refused to part with Michaels, and Manning reportedly turned down ESPN's offer.

But according to Marchand, Mike Tirico (the former play-by-play voice for Monday Night Football) will take over for Michaels as NBC's lead voice following Super Bowl LVI. Brees may also end up replacing NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth in the broadcast booth, pairing him with Tirico.

It remains to be seen what ESPN will do after losing out on Michaels, Manning and Brees. Tirico left the network to join NBC Sports in 2016, where he calls a handful of NFL and NHL games.

After Tirico left ESPN, Sean McDonough took over as the lead voice for Monday Night Football. He stepped down after two seasons, opting to call college games for the network. Jon Gruden, who served as an analyst for Monday Night Football, left the booth and returned to the sidelines to coach the Raiders.

Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland took over the Monday Night Football broadcasts beginning in the 2018 season. Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten was there for a year before deciding to rejoin the Dallas Cowboys in 2019. Considering how many big names ESPN has missed out on here, it wouldn't be a surprise if they decided to stick with Tessitore and McFarland for the 2020 campaign.
