DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - New Orleans Saints Future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Drew Brees might be on his way to being the next Tony Romo, as he has reportedly received phone calls about working as a TV game analyst from at least one network.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 12, 2020The network is reportedly not from the ESPN family of networks, though the name of the network that called Brees has not been released.
At 41-years-old, Brees is not under contract with the Saints for next season, as his deal expired at the end of this season, along with other Saints quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater, and Taysom Hill.
Brees is coming off of a season in which he was the most accurate passer in the NFL, completing 74.3-percent of his throws, just a tenth of a point off of his career-best mark.
The 19-year veteran is known as one of the best minds at the position the NFL today, and after passing for 2,979 yards and 27 touchdowns in just 11 games, is now the NFL's all-time leading passer in terms of yards, touchdowns, completions, and completion percentage.
Breese also sits just eight passing attempts behind Brett Favre, for the most attempts in league history.
