In a monumental announcement shaking the NFL world, New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson, alongside the Brees family, has officially confirmed that legendary quarterback Drew Brees will return to the organization in 2025 — this time as a co-owner.
Brees, a Super Bowl champion, future Hall of Famer, and long-revered icon in New Orleans, spent 15 unforgettable seasons with the Saints, transforming the franchise and community both on and off the field. Now, in a historic move, he rejoins the team not in pads and cleats, but in the boardroom — marking a new era for the franchise.
“This city and this team have always been part of my soul,” Brees said at the press conference held at the Caesars Superdome. “Coming back in this new role allows me to give back in a bigger way and help shape the future of the Saints.”
Gayle Benson praised Brees’ commitment to the city and his vision for the team, saying, “Drew has always been a leader, and having him join our ownership group ensures that the spirit of New Orleans is deeply rooted in everything we do moving forward.”
Brees will reportedly be involved in strategic operations, community outreach, and long-term franchise planning. The move comes as the Saints gear up for a pivotal 2025 season with new coaching leadership and a re-energized roster.
Fans across New Orleans and the NFL are already buzzing with excitement, viewing Brees’ return as a powerful symbol of continuity and renewed hope.
