Tom Brady Responds To Rodney Harrison Telling Him To Retire

Tom Brady may be 41, but he is playing his best football. The Patriots quarterback is not planning to retire despite the fact that so many pundits, players, and stars have talked about it. Even Brady’s former teammates say it. Rodney Harrison is one of them, but TB12 has the perfect response to that.

Rodney Harrison is convinced that Brady should put an end to his professional career after Super Bowl LIII.

“As a friend, I’d like to see him win a championship and move on,” he said. Well, his quarterback friend is not buying any of that.

Rodney Harrison was asking for it

“I didn’t talk to Rodney about that. I don’t think anyone wants to see anyone get hurt,” Brady said. “But you could be 24 and get hurt, you could be 26 and get hurt. It’s a contact sport. Anything can happen. But again, you just do your best to prepare your body for the types of hits you’re going to take. Again, it’s a yearlong process. I never really get out of shape, I stay in good shape.

“I love playing football and I love the competition and love competing at the highest level. I don’t know what’s more fun for me than running out against Kansas City in the biggest game of our season in front of 70,000 people and coming away with the win. That was one of the great joys of my life. And I think you can never go back as an athlete. It’s not like I’m going to retire for a year and then come back when I’m 43. I’m just going to keep playing. When I feel like I don’t want to make the commitment, or feel like I’ve had enough, then I’ve had enough. But in my view, this year, next year, the year after that, I want to keep playing, because I really love it, and I’m having a lot of fun.”
