There’s a chance Wilson is still kicking in the NFL in three years, but his decline has been pronounced the last few years and he’s now on his third roster in a three-season span. I’d imagine he’ll have hung ‘em up by ‘28, in which case one of the most creative and talented improvisers in league history would make a tremendous flag football signal-caller on the right side of 40.
And if Wilson hasn’t retired yet, we’ll hedge here with a 40-year-old Matthew Stafford (who also doesn’t appear to be on track to play more than two or three more seasons).
Yeah, 50 is pushing it in any sport, but Brady has famously taken great care of himself and was an effective NFL starter just a couple years ago. In this case, he’s only a sub who could work as a tremendous ambassador, and it would be fun to see him step in for a game or two.
Again, not a lot will be in doubt in some if not all of these matches, anyway.
