Too bad it's NBC, that means only doing Notre Dame games which also means I won't watch much.
Class guy, one of my favorites in the league.

Yeah totally, dropping his contract to $1 million in 2021 saved the cap-starved Saints a bunch of money on their bottom line. And I bet they don't file the paperwork until after June 2nd, so they can spread out his dead money over 2 seasons ($11M/yr) instead of absorbing it all in 2021 season. One final parting gift from Drew.
And yeah I'm pretty shocked he may be doing Notre Dame games, given he's a Purdue alum (Indiana state rival). Would be like hiring Gretzky for Flames telecasts. But as a Saints & Irish fan, I'm all for it! Tirico & Drew, #Blessed
UPDATE: Confirmed, Brees will replace Dungy (he's going back to NFL studio analyst) as colour commentator next to Tirico. Man I love that move
