Bucs’ present to Tom Brady for his 44th birthday? Take the day off

TAMPA u2015 What do you get the quarterback who has seven Super Bowl rings for his 44th birthday? How about a little rest?

Tom Brady turns 44 years old Tuesday, making him one of the oldest quarterbacks in NFL history.

Warren Moon played for the Chiefs eight days after his 44th birthday in 2000, Brady’s rookie year. The Raiders’ George Blanda played until he was 48 but was primarily a kicker by then. He went 1-for-3 passing for 11 yards in 1975, his final year in the NFL.

Brady, of course, shows no signs of slowing down after leading the Bucs to a Super Bowl 55 win over Kansas City on Feb.
