To my mind you do not do 180 degree turns on opinions expressed, unless you are under outside pressure, or threat.
In which case Mr. Brees is not showing honesty, integrity, and ethics, but just cynically protecting his assets and image.

More than likely. He was reminded, by someone, that his team is affected by his comments. "Let's not handicap our team before the season even starts, Drew. Some of your team mates will be upset, also some of the sponsors (who themselves are afraid) and some of the lefty loons who will urge boycotts, et. Do something, Drew."
We might want to fault him for changing direction but I understand. He was not hired to take principled stands; he was hired because he is terrific qb. And which of us might not buckle if our livelihood, our future, our friendships and our family were not in jeopardy from the mob?
