Tom Brady, a quarterback for the NFL's New England Patriots, may be considered one of the best players in NFL history, but when it comes to his earning power, he lags behind his NFL counterparts. But he said he wasn't worried because he had never been the highest-paid person in the family.

For a guy who has won a record 6 Super Bowl titles, it's unbelievable that Brady is just the 18th quarterback in the NFL league by revenue in terms of average contract value. Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks), Aaron Rogers (Green Bay Packers) and Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) earned even more than twice as much as Brady.
But Brady explained to American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel that he wasn't worried about his earning power in the NFL. "That's a good question," he admitted. "Normally I don't answer that kind of question. I feel like winning in my life is the most important thing. Anyway, my wife (supermodel Giselle Bündchen) makes more money than I do, and I'm smarter than you guys!" He grinned.

The NFL's spending rules for teams mean that each team has only a pre-set salary cap, which means that teams with huge contracts have to save elsewhere. This could mean that teams with high-earning players don't always have the strongest teams, as they have to rely on newbies to sign cheap contracts, or those low-paid players with mediocre abilities to balance the salary cap.
Brady said his decision not to fight for the NFL's biggest contract will only help him win more accolades. "You can only spend so much money, the more one person gets, the less others get." From a competitive advantage point of view, I want to have a lot of good players around me. ”
Brady, who will represent the Patriots at the age of 43, said he has no plans to retire because he wants to add another Super Bowl title to his honor roll. "To be a top player and give your team a chance to win every season, you have to give a lot. I try to be the best I can every day, try to be the best teammate, the leader, and also be physically prepared. I've been playing for a long time. Six times (Super Bowl), I never dreamed of reaching that goal. Brady said, "Anyway, I just want to win." ”
