Would you want to watch Aaron Judge play in the NFL? It seems like 45-year-old ageless Tom Brady wants to play alongside the star outfielder in the NFL. But can the salary-capped NFL afford someone with the potential of Judge? Maybe yes, but Judge is willing to play for free if a certain condition is met.

New York Yankees’ 2022 star outfielder Aaron Judge featured in the SiriusXM podcast with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, and the two athletes got involved in some friendly banter that concluded with the outfielder playing for the Bucs.
Under what condition would Aaron Judge play the NFL for free?
Brady invites Judge to play for The Bucs but poses an important question about his potential salary cap. He says, “How are you gonna deal with the salary cap? You have a salary cap in the NFL.” Moving on, Brady talks about the stunning MLB season that Judge has had and his upcoming free market appearance and says, “Looks like you have no salary cap in Major League Baseball coming to this off season.”

However, Judge continues to talk about playing for The Bucs, and that too for free. He says, “If Tom’s tossing me touchdowns, I’ll play for free. You just sign me up to play for free. That’s it.”
Finally, Brady well-wishes the Yankees, and says that Judge can come to the Bucs in December, after the World Series. He says, “Were you in the World Series maybe we’ll use you in December.”
Will The Judge stay with the Yankees?
During the 2022 offseason, the Yankee front office offered Aaron Judge a seven-year contract extension for $230 million. However, Judge expected a larger sum, for a longer time frame, but being a 30-year-old played against him.
Consequently, the outfielder entered 2022 as a free agent with a massive bet on himself. The way 2022 panned out is in front of us. Judge went completely berserk. He smashed 62 home runs, set a new American League single-season home run record, almost won the Triple Crown, and is in line to win MVP.
