Tom Brady Gets Big Money From Patriots in Contract Extention - See the Numbers!

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be earning $8 million more than anticipated this year after he signed a new contract extension that will give his $23 million for the 2019 football season.

Tom was only supposed to make $15 million this year, ESPN reports, but it looks like the Patriots thought he deserved a bit more money after winning the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams this past February!

You may be surprised to learn that Tom Brady is only the sixth highest-paid quarterback in the league, despite being considered the best quarterback to ever play the game. Well, Tom routinely works with the Patriots to make his contracts “team friendly” so that the organization can continue being competitive in other areas besides just the quarterback.

Seattle’s Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins, Jacksonville’s Nick Foles and Arizona rookie Kyler Murray are all set to make more between salary and bonuses.

Tom just celebrated his 42nd birthday and got a message from a very special someone!
