NFL fans react to Tom Brady’s low career earnings
Tom Brady, despite years of financial squandering, remained third on the all-time QB career earnings list, a claim that has garnered significant attention from fans. Aaron Rodgers leads with $380.66 million, followed by Matthew Stafford and Brady with $3364.31M and $333.96M respectively. But Brady has seven Super Bowl rings. The others got just one each except Ryan, who has none.
“Tom Brady was underpaid. He took a hometown discount constantly while in New England,” one fan pointed out. Others believe he could have easily topped this list. “Brady took paycuts throughout his career or else he wouldve been the highest paid throughout his career by a mile,” another fan argued before calling him the GOAT.
“I didn’t realize how much Brady sacrificed financially to win. He should clearly be number 1 AND number 2,” one fan joked. Meanwhile, some fans turned their attention to Rodgers. “What’s surprising is that people don’t associate the massive amount of money A Rod asked for every year with the fact that he only had one Super Bowl ring.”
Tom Brady signed a $375 million ten-year contract with Fox Sports as an NFL analyst and ambassador, marking his biggest contract since retiring. Brady will replace football with a mic in the first week of NFL 2024, replacing football with a mic for the Dallas Cowboys’ match against the Cleveland Browns.
