Drew Brees Commentator: Why Seattle Makes Sense If He Were to Return to the NFL

Rumors have been swirling about Drew Brees potentially returning to the NFL, and while some fans believe New Orleans would be the obvious choice, others are considering other options. According to Locked On Saints host Ross Jackson, New Orleans is not a possibility for Brees' return.

Jackson stated that if Brees were to come back to the NFL, Seattle would be the only place it makes sense. This is because he has consistently been tied to either New Orleans or nowhere, and returning to the Saints is not an option since they no longer own his rights.

Despite the speculation, Jackson reiterated that he would be surprised if Brees actually landed on a team and decided to come back as a quarterback again. However, he acknowledged that it's possible Brees might be considering a return.

The idea of Brees returning to the NFL is intriguing, especially given the current state of the Seattle Seahawks' quarterback situation. Locked On Vikings host Luke Braun compared Brees' potential return to Donovan McNabb's final season with the Minnesota Vikings, where he was benched in favor of Christian Ponder.

Braun also noted that people are taking a tweet from Brees about potentially playing football again seriously, despite it being an innocuous comment. This has led some Seahawks fans to consider Brees as a potential solution at quarterback.

While it's unclear whether Brees could still be productive if he returned, given his injury history and play at the end of his career, Jackson doesn't think so. He believes that Brees may have been upset about the news being leaked prematurely, regardless of its accuracy.

Ultimately, only time will tell if Brees decides to return to the NFL. However, if he were to make a comeback, Seattle seems like the most plausible option.
