It’s a topic that first emerged last year, when Tom Brady retired the first time. And it’s relevant for the second straight February.
With Tom Brady done playing (we think) and eligible for Hall of Fame enshrinement in 2028, Aaron Rodgers likely will play at least one more year. If Rodgers retires, he becomes the obvious second fiddle to Brady during the looming Hall of Fame induction weekend.
Should Rodgers care about being the Robin to Brady’s Batman? No. But that won’t matter. Rodgers will want to be the focal point of the weekend in which he joins the all-time greats.
