Tom Brady recently went through a late-career team change similar to Aaron Rodgers as the latter prepares for his first season with the Jets.
"There's a different energy about it," Brady said on his podcast,"Let's Go.""It's a newness.
That friction all came to a head this past offseason when the Packers reportedly made Rodgers available for trade, which was part of the reason why the 39-year-old decided to hold off retirement. Following several weeks of negotiations, Rodgers was traded from the Packers to the Jets in late April. Rodgers seems to be right at home already as he prepares for his first season with Gang Green, drawing constant praise from teammates and coaches as depicted in"Hard Knocks." Brady thinks that kind of energy will help bring out the best in Rodgers this season.
"You go to a new place and you have none of that [tension]," Brady said."So now you can just hopefully bring your best knowing that you probably didn't do everything right where you were, but you tried your best. And now you get to go to a new place with a different type of emotional energy. And I'm excited for him. He'll be invigorated. Looks like he's having a good time up to this year.
"So I'm excited to see what he does. They have a really good team. They have a really good offense. And, you know, Aaron's been, when he's got good receivers, man, it's pretty dangerous. … I think he's gonna have a great year."The four-time MVP had some struggles in his final season in Green Bay. He threw for the fewest yards and had the second-fewest touchdown passes in a season that he's played at least 10 games in over his career.
