Legendary Saints quarterback Drew Brees appeared on “The Adam Schefter Podcast<\/a>” this week (Tues. Jan 28) and was asked whether he’d consider returning to New Orleans in an official role.<\/p>\n

Replying to Schefter, Brees spoke of his love for the city, his continued support of the Saints organization, and his “conversations” with Saints personnel regarding the team’s head coach vacancy.<\/p>\n

Drew Brees Talks About a Potential Saints Return<\/h2>\n

Brees appeared on “The Adam Schefter Podcast” and was asked primarily about New Orleans and its ability to host the Super Bowl<\/a> and all the added fanfare and human traffic that comes with it. After giving a glowing report on his adopted hometown and even giving Schefter some restaurant recommendations, Brees was asked about a potential return to his former team.<\/p>\n

After noticing that Brees would always use the term “we” when referring to the Saints, Schefter pressed him on it:<\/p>\n

“You say ‘we,’ and you are such a part of that city and that franchise. Will you ever have a role, an official role, on that team one day?”<\/p>\n

“I don’t know, we’ll see” Brees replied, with a wide smile appearing on his face. The idea clearly brings out some feelings of joy for the former Super Bowl winner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brees continued: “Look, it’s in my blood, it always will be, I’m always gonna be a Saint.”<\/p>\n

“So whether it’s direct or indirect, I will always say ‘we.'”<\/p>\n

“That’s my team, my organization from the perspective that I just take so much pride in what we built and what we accomplished. I’m always a resource to help and I’ll always be there to support.”<\/p>\n
