Tom Brady gave up over $60M in discounted contracts to keep Pats competitive

And THAT, my friends, makes a HUGE difference.

BTW, the number is likely closer to $100M.

well, to be fair, his wife has a pretty good job.

Staffords wife I don’t think has ever held a job.

People need to stop using Tom Brady in any argument.

HE IS THE EXCEPTION TO EVERY RULE IN THE NFL!!!

No other player does anything Brady does. Period.

I just hope, 20 years from now, Pats fans can appreciate how awesome they had it. If only I…

Didnt you consider that being the entire point of my post?

Pretty sure there are 31 other QBs throwing footballs, Tom Brady does that too… :joy:

Bortles did it too

Poor Bortles. At least he’s become a meme.

Not really, came across as another one of those: “Oh look what Brady does, I think (insert high priced Lions player) should do the same.” My bad, if that’s not the case.

Bortles increased the amount of his guarantees while the Jags bought time to find his replacement. They can spin it as following Brady’s model, but c’mon. He got a gold necklace in lieu of an engagement ring.
