Rodgers had one of his worst statistical seasons in 2022 after winning the league’s MVP award in 2020 and 2021. His touchdowns dropped from 37 to 26, and he threw eight more interceptions as he adjusted to the departure of star wideout Davante Adams and the addition of inexperienced receivers. “You know what, I hope he doesn’t retire,” Brady said. “Because like I said, I think the league needs good quarterbacks and he’s one of the greats. So if he retires, it’ll be a sad day for the league.”on Feb. 1. He revealed, in an emotional video recorded on the beach, that this time, his decision is “for good,” too. Like Rodgers, Brady struggled throughout the 2022 season, and he thanked his teammates, coaches and family in the 53-second clip for “allowing me to live my absolute dream.
“We’ve all gotta be on,” Brady said, about Rodgers, to Gray in the podcast episode. “It’s very intense for all of us and everyone gets to choose what they want to do. But certainly from the standpoint of him leaving the game the way that he’s playing, he broke his thumb this year and still played tremendous. And you could see as he got healthy throughout the year how incredibly talented he is.
“So I hope the good players keep playing. That’s what my hope is. That’s what I tried to do. And now you hope that the next generation does that and I hope they have the tools necessary to do that.”
