In a stunning and emotional turn of events, the New Orleans Saints have officially announced that former franchise quarterback and NFL legend Drew Brees is returning to the organization — not in uniform, but in the owner’s suite. Brees has joined the team as a co-owner, marking a historic moment for the Saints franchise and its passionate fanbase.
The announcement was made earlier today at a press conference held at the Caesars Superdome, where Brees was joined by current team ownership, head coach Dennis Allen, and several former teammates. The move comes after months of speculation about Brees’ increased involvement in football following his departure from broadcasting.
> “This team, this city, and these fans have meant everything to me and my family,” Brees said. “To come back in this new role — not just as a supporter, but as a steward of this great organization — is truly a dream come true.”
Brees, who led the Saints to their first and only Super Bowl championship in 2010, retired in 2021 after 20 seasons in the NFL, including 15 with New Orleans. Widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history, he left the game with numerous records, including most career passing yards at the time of his retirement.
The Saints organization, now ushering in a new era of leadership both on and off the field, sees Brees’ return as a stabilizing force and a bridge between its championship past and future ambitions.
Team president Dennis Lauscha praised the move:
> “Drew brings unmatched leadership, vision, and a deep understanding of what it means to be a Saint. His presence in the ownership group not only energizes our fans, but also signals our commitment to excellence on every level.”
Fans across New Orleans — and the NFL world — have erupted in celebration since the news broke. Social media was flooded with messages of support, nostalgia, and excitement, with the hashtag #BreesBack trending nationally within minutes.
While exact details of the ownership stake were not disclosed, sources close to the organization indicate that Brees will play an active role in both football operations and community engagement two areas he has long championed.
“I’m not here to sit on the sidelines,” Brees added. “I’m here to help shape the future of the Saints — to build a team and a culture that this city can continue to be proud of.”
As New Orleans looks ahead to the 2025 NFL season, one thing is certain: the return of Drew Brees, in any capacity, is a rallying cry for hope, unity, and renewed ambition. The Saints faithful have their hero back — and this time, he’s here to help lead from the top.
