While with the New England Patriots, quarterback Tom Brady picked up a Super Bowl XLIX victory over Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, thanks in large part to one of the most popular play calls. hottest in NFL history.
Brady and Wilson now have different employers, and this time it’s Wilson who has one on the GOAT heading into the weekend.
Brady announced last Sunday that he was ending his brief retirement to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season, and Wilson officially joined the Denver Broncos via a trade from the Seahawks on Wednesday. According to a report from TMZ Sports, Brady’s Buccaneers jersey held the top spot in sales on the Fanatics site network until the Broncos introduced Wilson as their new QB1 on Wednesday afternoon. Since then, Wilson’s jersey has become the NFL’s bestseller of the week.
TMZ did not release details on the exact amount fans spent on the two shirts as of Sunday night.
It’s not the first time Brady and Wilson have been linked this week. By returning to the Bucs, Brady should achieve his long-held goal of playing until he turns 45, which he will turn in early August. Wilson, 33, said Wednesday his goal “is to play 10 or 12 more years and hopefully win three, four more Super Bowls.”
Perhaps the two will see each other on the battlefield for another Super Bowl showdown before Brady ends his career.
