GREEN BAY, Wis. – On the day Tom Brady turned 45 years old this summer, Aaron Rodgers did not hesitate even for a second to say whether he planned to play in the NFL at that age.
“No, no,” Rodgers said. “But happy birthday, Tom.”
And with that, his Aug. 3 session with reporters was over.
Nearly two months went by without a follow-up question on the subject. But as Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (1-1) prepared for Sunday’s road game (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox) against Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0), naturally it came up again.
