Jets LB Calvin Pace hopes Tom Brady plays for many years ... in the NFC

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Calvin Pace said he wouldn't be surprised if New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 38, plays another 10 years. He just wishes it weren't in the AFC East.

"I don't see that guy retiring anytime soon," the New York Jets linebacker said Wednesday. "He shouldn't. He's done a great job for a long time.

"Hopefully, he gets traded at some point in time," Pace added, half-jokingly. "Trade him to the NFC somewhere."

The Jets would throw a big party if that happened.

Pace, 35, the oldest player on the team, has been playing for the Jets since 2008, which means he's had many Brady confrontations.
