Aaron Rodgers told Bears fans he owned them.

Tom Brady heard him.

Speaking on his SiriusXM show — called “Let’s Go!” — the Buccaneers quarterback joked with host Jim Gray about Rodgers’ touchdown celebration Sunday at Soldier Field. He said he was watching film to prepare for Sunday’s Buccaneers-Bears game in Tampa.

“I was studying a little on the Bears and Packers,” he said. “Before we get started I wanted to say congrats to Aaron Rodgers, obviously. I know he’s a great quarterback, but I guess he’s now a shareholder of the Bears.

“I saw a clip of him really enthusiastically telling the crowd how happy he is to own Soldier Field. That’s really great stuff. He owns the Bucks now. Part-owner of Soldier Field. He’s got a great career beyond football.”

Rodgers has owned 1 percent of the Milwaukee Bucks since 2018. And, if you ask him, the Bears since in perpetuity.

“All my [bleeping] life, I own you,” Rodgers said as he looked into the Soldier Field stands after running for a fourth-quarter touchdown in Sunday’s win. “I own you. I still own you.”
