Tom Brady Is undoubtedly one of the greatest, if not the greatest quarterback of all time. The longtime Patriots and current Buccaneers phenom has transitioned into his 40s (now 44) and shows no signs of slowing down. Leading New England to 6 Super Bowls and Tampa Bay to their second, Brady is a shining example of the old saying’ “age is just a number.” Surely it also helped to encourage and motivate Brady that he had a few positive words thrown his way via Instagram by wife Gisele before his tenth Super Bowl appearance.
Speaking of numbers, number 12 has amassed a considerable fortune for his unparalleled skill on the gridiron. However, the multiple-time Super Bowl champion has generated a hefty sum from endorsement deals as well. This list shines light on how much of the green stuff Brady earns from those respective sources.
7 Tom Brady's Rookie Salary Was $193 K
In the NFL 2000 Draft, Tom was selected by New England, 199th overall, and was the seventh quarterback taken. The phenom would give football fans a peek at his future greatness early on. Brady’s rookie years would see the quarterback earn $193 thousand in 2000; however, his rookie contract was redone in the summer of '02 after leading New England to their very first Super Bowl Victory in 2001. Tom would go on to surpass the $1 million mark by 2003/04.
6 Tom Brady Would Reach $26 Million By 2006 With The Patriots
Brady’s next deal came with a little “baggage,” so to speak. New England wanted to pay the quarterback his agreed $24 million signing bonus in four increments. More than half of the bonus money would arrive in the first two years of the deal; however, unpaid bonus money in the later years of the contract would not be guaranteed. Essentially, if Brady were injured and couldn’t keep playing, he wouldn't be paid portions of the $24 million bonus. Regardless of the controversy surrounding his contract, Brady’s earnings continued to soar.
