In 2021, Brees signed with PointsBet as a brand ambassador and even gave Brees an equity stake. He has appeared in a series “Live Your Bet Life” commercials for PointsBet, which feature Brees doing things like climbing Mount Everest, deep sea fishing and flying to space on a rocket.

The commercial apparently was being filmed at the Catatumbo River, an area that features many lightning strikes on a daily basis. UPDATE 10:58 a.m. ET: Brees says he wasn't struck by lightning. It was apparently a publicity stunt.

However, this interest was sparked prior to his retirement. Brees is a long-time multi-unit owner with Dunkin', Jimmy John's and Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux.

Roger Goodell Suspends Drew Brees, Sean Payton for Tom Brady, Patriots DeflateGate Scandal. Despite any involvement with the Patriots organization whatsoever, Saints head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees have both been suspended four games by the NFL as punishment for the DeflateGate controversy.

However, this interest was sparked prior to his retirement. Brees is a long-time multi-unit owner with Dunkin', Jimmy John's and Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux.

$50,000,000 2020-2021. Drew Brees signed a 2 year, $50,000,000 contract with the New Orleans Saints, including $25,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $25,000,000.

According to the Post report last month, Brees and the network's decision to split "seemed mutual" and occurred because Brees preferred calling games over working the "Football Night in America" studio show. NBC reportedly didn't have many games to offer him.

Less than a day after becoming the highest paid player in NFL history, Drew Brees has been suspended for the first four games of the 2012 season by commissioner Roger Goodell, citing his involvement in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal as cause.

Brady has a sports nutrition and supplements brand, TB12, a sportswear line called Brady, and two production companies - Religion of Sports and 199 Productions, which he founded with former football player Michael Strahan.

Smalls Sliders, a Louisiana-based fast-food franchise founded by Brandon Landry in 2019 with Brees as an investor, is bringing its sliders served from modular restaurants to the Houston area.

Brady will take home a mammoth 37.5 million dollars per season. The length of the contract is for 10 years in which Brady will get the full amount agreed, making him the highest paid television analyst in the NFL.

The delay comes as a surprise, given the network said Brady would become Fox Sports' lead NFL analyst “immediately following his playing career” in its May 2022 announcement of the deal. Brady, who retired “for good” last Wednesday, has a 10-year, $375 contract with Fox, according to the New York Post.
