The New Orleans Saints managed to pull off a spectacular win over the defending Super Bowl champions in Week 7, beating Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home to the tune of a 36-27 score. However, the win came at a price, with the Saints seemingly losing Jameis Winston to a knee injury. While nothing is final yet in terms of the full extent of Winston's injury, former Saints quarterback Drew Brees surely has heard some people asking whether there's a chance he could un-retire and start for New Orleans.

Brees seemed to laugh off the suggestion when Mike Tirico posed the question saying, “Let me check,” as he picked up his phone.

Brees then thoroughly shot down the idea.

“I'll be there Saturday to call the Notre Dame-Navy game, and I'll be here Sunday,” Brees said, indicating he planned to fulfill his new responsibilities as a broadcaster at NBC.

Brees played his last season in the NFL in 2020, during which they lost in the NFC Divisional Round to the Buccaneers.

Should Winston get ruled out for at least Week 9's game against the Atlanta Falcons at home, the belief is that the Saints will give the ball to Trevor Siemian, who took over Winston in the Bucs game and finished with 159 passing yards and a touchdown on 16-of-29 pass completions. The Saints also have Taysom Hill, but the versatile quarterback has not played since Week 5 due to concussion.
