Drew Brees Talks 'Monday Night Football' Aspirations amid Troy Aikman Contract Rumors

Drew Brees is throwing his hat into the ring as a potential successor to Troy Aikman should the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback leave ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast.

Brees told Front Office Sports' Baker Machado (h/t Michael McCarthy) he would "of course" be interested in the MNF job if it became available.

"At the end of the day, I aspire to be the best at what I'm pursuing," Brees, who is currently a Fox Sports analyst, told Machado (h/t McCarthy). "I love broadcasting and I love my team. And I love being able to broadcast games every week."

Aikman has said he will be a "free agent" when his ESPN contract expires after this year.
