For 15 years, the Sean Payton and Drew Brees-led New Orleans Saints constantly gave the Carolina Panthers nightmares. But now, it feels like we’re living in a dream—and a very weird one at that.
This past week, the former Saints head coach was linked to the Panthers in a nugget from Front Office Sports Michael McCarthy—in which the senior writer reported that Carolina had been “eyeing” the “retired” 58-year-old. Well, why not just try to bring his old buddy along, too?
That’s, at least, what NBC Sports’ Peter King suggested on Monday. In his latest edition of “Football Morning in America,” King gives his opinion on Brees’ curious tease at a return in 2022, stating the Panthers may be thirsty enough to give this farfetched idea a try.
