During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Brady explained that he doesn't really need the money and his teammates make his life easier since he's willing to take a lesser salary than most players of his stature and success. He said:

"I think the thing I've always felt for me, and my life, winning has been a priority — and my wife makes a lot of money. I'm a little smarter than you think."

Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

He went on to say that the amount of his contract comes down to the salary cap and his desire to keep the Patriots' dynasty going.

"Actually, it's the salary cap — you can only spend so much. The more one guy gets, it's less for others. For a competitive advantage standpoint, I like to get a lot of good players around me."

At least Tom Brady knows how lucky he is and what a good life he has. And I like him a little better for not being a grab as much money as he can greedy mofo, you know?
