We New Englanders appreciated that so much. Not only was Brady amazing, but he was selfless in that way. He kept a good team around him. Very rare to see that nowadays. And he's right! If you can't live your life of millions per year, you're doing something wrong!
In the end, he got the bag. His name is as close as it gets to Michael Jordan in the NFL. That's why he got over 350 million dollars to be a broadcaster. He will cash in on his name for the rest of his life.

He knew he needed to share the pie so they could have a good team. Other guys don’t get it. I have always said what I just heard Tom say (basically)……how many millions is enough millions?
Do you realize how silly that is? Edelman was a 7th rd draft pick by the Pats. He was a college qb. Belichick and the Pats saw something in him and wanted to make him a WR. Welker wasn't happy at all. During Edelman's first 2 years, he was injured and could barely stay on the field. The Pats were still interested in letting Welker walk because they thought Edelman could be better. Finally, Edelman stayed healthy and showed he was better. Every penny Edelman made was because Belichick and the Patriots believed in him from the beginning no matter if it took a few years. It paid off.
@@BaronVonMunch And they even let him play DEFENSE, where he shined as well. i love that clip of him hitting the QB. Plus, after the Seattle interception in the Super Bowl, Edelman turned into a savage defender after his route as receiver and put the star Seattle defender out for the rest of the game with a broken wrist after a brutal tackle. That is the INTANGIBLE that Julian brought to the team.
@@StephenDoty84 Edelman definitely belongs in the conversation of all-time great competitors. He wasn't necessarily the best athlete on the field, but he worked his ass off and didn't back down from anyone.
You’ll never see another QB who takes less for the good of the team again. Now it’s all about getting as much as they can and then promptly sitting back, playing worse, and collecting their millions. Look how many of these young QBs have these incredible contracts and then just stop being great.
@@fredericklockard3854 Mahomes restructures his deal every year and takes less for the home team discount. He's making 37-mil this year in 2024. He's actually only ranked 13th highest paid qb according to cap hit...behind 12 other qbs who are making way more like...Trevor Lawnrence, DeShaun Watson, Tua, Jaylen Hurts, etc.
You serve your client, your aim is to get the deal he is happy with, if that means less money to stay with a particular team or move to a particular city - so be it. I have taken less money to stay in an environment that I am happy on.
Tom left money on the table so the Pats could pick up or pay the difference makers to win Superbowls!!! Tom took less, but got more from football than player in NFL history's!
He didn't take as much less as this myth suggests. He wasn't a pain in the ass, but he did at one time sign for the highest qb salary in the league. Manning passed him shortly after. Tom was very well paid. Tom did what many other players have done. Not everyone is a jerk demanding to be the highest paid like a Mookie Betts.
Brady at one point was the highest paid qb. Happened when he started putting up higher stats. The idea he took massive discounts just isn't true. He probably did the same as what Mahomes does now. Mahomes could have demanded more and could still demand more, but he doesn't. Actually, most players aren't a-holes about this stuff. Many stars are similar to Brady.
Why would Belichick love it. Bill is doing that as his job on behalf of Kraft. You think Belichick was the reason the Pats were cheap? Owners set budgets, the Belichicks of the world do their job. And Belichick liked his job so he never complained. He is a company guy.
If Brady doesn’t do that he may not have won as many Super Bowls. In the long run it was better for him financially. Look at the contract he signed as a TV analyst. He didn’t get that because he’s a great analyst..he may be eventually, but he got it because of his tremendous success in football.
I swear that every video they lower the chairs just a few millimeters. Eventually Jules will be sitting on the floor and we'll just be staring at his shoes.
To paraphrase - “We didn’t expect people to take home team discounts, we wanted everyone to benefit” Right, because the Patriots have always been known to provide lucrative contracts during their dominant era…. Many corporations would action this mindset through “profit sharing”, did the Patriots do this? No.
Take it up with Kraft. He has always been pretty cheap. Not sure what you're talking about with profit sharing. Do any other NFL teams do this? If not then you're just being silly.
@@BaronVonMunch I don’t have an issue to raise. Doesn’t affect me. Just stating that it’s more corporate-style BS that they are doing it for “everyone”…right… And no I don’t believe it exists, which was my point.

People in the comments keep bringing up Maholmes's name like they really want to believe something about him. Maholmes has the most valuable contract in the league at 450,000,000...but it's 10 year contract. By literally every other metric that QB contracts are usually compared--Average Per Year, Fully Guaranteed, Total Guaranteed, 3-Year Cash, etc.--Maholmes doesn't appear at the top. In fact, he's not even in the Top 10 of ANY of those categories in terms of how much he's getting paid. Yet he is second only to Brady in terms of leading his team to consecutive Conference Championships, with only a TE as a true standout star after losing a superlative WR (sound familiar?). Man ain't perfect, but stop acting like he wouldn't do what was needed to keep his team together. He doesn't need a pay cut because he's already being underpaid.
He seems very uncomfortable. Its because in truth his real job is to put money in his boss's pocket. If he doesn't he's fired and replaced by someone who will. Someone in that position learns how to make people feel good about taking less. He's not a bad guy but he 100% is not looking out for you. Is your money or his job more important to you is the question. He's your buddy.....right?
I mean there's a salary cap... The money is being spent regardless, it's just about where to distribute it. His job is to build the best team with that money. I'd say the Patriots consistently did that for 20 years (while saving money compared to the other teams around the league) and a large thanks was to Brady's player friendly deals. Tom's rookie contract was 4 yr/ $2.5M... After all the people he had to pay and the taxes, the dude was living a very middle class life in the Boston area as the most famous football player in the league. I'm sure he was genuinely fine with $10M/yr.
There's a salary cap, money has to be spent no matter what. Maybe not the year it's granted, but it eventually has to be spent. Salary cap money is not the Owner's money.
His job was to pay people the least amount so they could also pay other players which ended up working quite well. Would Brady trade half of his rings for what he left on the table? I wouldn’t.
@@steves186 come on we know how this works he signed for 10 when he probably could have signed for 20. So he signed for an outlet price when he could have got top dollar.
Imagine if Dak took just a little bit less than needing to be the highest paid player ever... maybe the Cowboys could've signed Derrick Henry and some linemen. :D
So, in other words, you mean Tom did nothing out of the ordinary that damn near almost everybody does in a negotiation which is just try to figure out the area that all parties want to be at? Sorry but this was a pretty boring story that had a nothingburger for a climax. Now, the interesting part about the story if anything was that you were talking about when Tom was trying to talk to you both sides or one side and you said that you can't talk to him. I think it would be interesting to hear you elaborate more on that. I'm aware that there are bargaining agreements and rules set up so only once I can talk to one side based on certain parameters and you can't have interference and all that stuff however, if Tommy knew that and he was talking to you, then obviously you were able to do a few things that were not against the rules so it would be interesting to know the more specific details about how Tom got away with this and explain how you were able to talk to the other side with Tom on speakerphone. That is way more interesting than your story of Tom talking about something that pretty much everybody does in a negotiation that is more than boring. Sorry but that's the reality of the situation. Your story wasn't exciting at all and Tom didn't do anything out of the ordinary at all.
hill? why on this planet should he take a pay cut for billionaire owners when his career can easily end in an instant? Qbs can at least play for a long time, are largely protected and get a few contracts but most of these other positions are lucky if they get one good contract.
Don't get caught up in the big headlines. Mahomes restructured his deal and is now paid below his talent level. He takes a lot from a guy like Brady about keeping the team together. If you watch his interviews, he says it all the time.
@@scratchpenny for a QB of his or Brady's stature it can make sense. they get way more protection and can play a really long time at that position. for other positions you're lucky if you get one big contract. take what you can get when you can still get it.
