Tom Brady has been playing in the NFL for 22 seasons now. He will begin his 23rd season on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Micah Parsons, the Cowboys' second-year linebacker, is 23 years old. He believes it's time for the 45-year-old Brady to retire because he's been dominant for far too long.
"We got to get him out of this league. He's been dominating this league too long. ... He wants to kill you. He wants to step on your throat like you’re a roach," Parsons was quoted as saying by Dallas Morning News.
Brady did briefly retire from the NFL before returning. This is something that might have caused a rift in his marriage according to recent reports. Either way, the legendary quarterback isn't going to be around forever, and Parsons would like to see him leave sooner rather than later.

Redditors had a few interesting reactions to Parsons' comments, with a few wondering why Brady is still playing at this point.
The defender hopes to put a dent in the Buccaneers star's plans this Sunday night when their 2022 season kicks off.

What are Micah Parsons' Defensive Player of the Year chances?
Micah Parsons finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting last season. The rookie had one of the best seasons in history and took home the Rookie of the Year award. He was also an All-Pro first-team member.
It stands to reason that, with more experience, the Cowboys star might be able to take home the prestigious award.
Unfortunately for him, he has stiff competition. VegasInsider has three defenders with better odds than Parsons ahead of the NFL opener:
- Myles Garrett +600
- Aaron Donald +650
- T.J. Watt +800
- Micah Parsons +900
- Nick Bosa +1200
- Joey Bosa +1800
Still, +900 is a good bet. It's just that Aaron Donald, T.J. Watt (the defending DPOY), and Myles Garrett are also incredible players.
