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.”

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.

Given such a season, Judge is now eyeing an extremely massive contract that could potentially break multiple records. But who will pay the highest amount for this superstar slugger if not the Pinstripes?
