He has been teamed with Jac Collinsworth, who could be Garrett&#8217;s partner on the Fighting Irish games, according to sources. <\/p>\n<p>NBC declined to comment.  Garrett did not immediately return messages. <\/p>\n<p>Brees teamed with Mike Tirico last year to call Notre Dame, while also calling two NFL games and working as part of the Sunday night studio show.  Tirico has been promoted to be the play-by-play voice of \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d in place of Al Michaels. <\/p>\n<p>The Post previously reported that Brees and NBC were breaking up after one year.  In a tweet following the publishing of that story, Brees confirmed that he was in limbo, but said he could return to NBC or the NFL, train for pickle ball or the senior golf tour.  He also added he may concentrate on his philanthropic and business works by him or just coach his kids by him.  He concluded by raising the possibility of doing all of it at once. <\/p>\n<p>Sources have said that focusing on his philanthropic and business works was actually the leading candidate. <\/p>\n<p>Fox, however, has considered hiring Brees to be its No. 2 game analyst, according to sources.  Brees favors calling NFL games to studio work. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/drew-brees-jason-garrett-nbc.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"drew brees and jason garrett\" class=\"wp-image-22514539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/drew-brees-jason-garrett-nbc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/drew-brees-jason-garrett-nbc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/drew-brees-jason-garrett-nbc.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Drew Brees&#8217; exit from NBC could lead to Jason Garrett taking his TV spot.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images;  Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fox, according to sources, is not going to offer Brees big money (probably in the $ 1.5 million to $ 2 million per year range) compared to Tom Brady&#8217;s 10-year, $ 375 million deal.
