Watch: Tom Brady Addresses About Not Being Highest Paid Quarterback

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the GOAT, but he isn’t the highest-paid quarterback in the league. He is definitely better than the currently highest-paid quarterback in the league, Russell Wilson, and his rings are the best proof for that.

Brady appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night, and talked about his salary. When asked about it, he said, “That’s a good question. That’s usually, when I don’t want to answer a question, I always say, ‘That’s a good question.’ I think the thing I’ve always felt for me in my life, winning has always been a priority. And my wife makes a lot of money.

 “I’m a little smarter than you think. Actually, it’s a salary cap. You can only spend so much and the more that one guy gets is less for others. I think for a competitive advantage standpoint, I like to get a lot of good players around me.”

Brady knows what he is talking about, because Gisele is one of the highest paid supermodels in the world. She made $10 million last year from modeling. Her net worth is projected at $400 million. Brady’s goes at $180 million.

Wilson’s massive contract triggered an avalanche of reactions, and Stephen A. Smith used the chance to say that Brady’s salary should go higher next season.

“[Wilson] should not be paid more than Tom Brady,” he said. “I think that Tom Brady should be the highest-paid quarterback in the National Football League, and I don’t think anyone can dispute that.

“I believe in excellence being rewarded. When you consider the fact that this is a six-time Super Bowl champion, a multiple league MVP. When you think about what Tom Brady brings to the table — I’m very big on résumés. …The fact of the matter is Tom Brady is universally recognized by everybody as being the greatest who’s ever lived. He’s still playing, he’s standing here now as a reigning Super Bowl champion. He’s been to the last two Super Bowls. I’m sorry, I’ve never seen Russell Wilson at a Super Bowl in years. I’m of the mindset — again, I’m happy for Russell Wilson. He deserves the money, don’t get me wrong. But when we ask the question about who should be the highest-paid player, I think the highest producers should ultimately be paid and Tom Brady’s résumé is incomparable right now.”
