Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr is considered as the greatest player in NFL history, and here’s why.

NFL Draft

Tom is part of the batch 2000 pool of draftees, and he was the seventh quarterback drafted that year and 199th overall pick. 

Tom was stunned as six other Qb’s were drafted before him.

 Brady was actually was so embarrassed that Tom left his family home for a short time during the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft and cried.

Then…

…The Patriots called to notify him that he was their 199th pick; Brady said that he was so delighted that he would not be an insurance salesman.

The New England Patriots

Brady signed his first contract with the New England Patriots for three years for $864,000 and a signing bonus of $38,400, where he bought a yellow Jeep Wrangler and a condo at Marina Bay.

He was a reserve quarterback behind starter Drew Bledsoe. 

Brady struggled to get playing time in his first professional season. His first season was spent mostly on the bench.

Super Bowl XXXVI and Super Bowl MVP

On  Sept. 23, 2001, in a Jets-Patriots game, Jets linebacker Mo Lewis slammed into Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe along the right sideline; the hit was so powerful that it caused internal bleeding on the part of Bledsoe.

A then-unknown Tom Brady took over as quarterback and won the game. 

Since then…

…Tommy became the starting quarterback for the Patriots, and they eventually won their first Super Bowl in franchise history that year.

And the best of all? Brady got his first Super Bowl MVP trophy. 

The New England Patriots dynasty

Tom Brady signed his second contract with the Patriots in 2002 after their first Super Bowl win, to the sweet tune of $30.52 Million with a $10 million signing bonus to bat.

That’s an annual salary of $10 million for the next three years.

Brady signed seven contracts with the Patriots. In his 19 season stay with the team, Brady’s net worth skyrocketed. 

He led the Patriots to 10 Super Bowl Appearances and winning 6 Super Bowls. 

It was also the team where he garnered most of his records, such as top five in yards per pass attempts, top five in completion percentage, and top five in passer rating, to name a few. 

But…

…in the 2019 season, Brady was offered a one-year contract with a  base salary of $1.75 Million and a Roster bonus of $62.5K per active game by the New England Patriots.

Coach Bill Belichick’s support for his 18-year starting quarterback seems to be waning. 

By the end of the 2019 season, Tom was without a contract. 

Because of his age, the Patriots wanted a year-to-year bonus-driven contract, while Brady wanted security and respect, meaning more years, and he wanted them to believe that he can still play until the golden age of 45.  

And…

On the 17th of March, just before Brady’s contract with the Patriots expired, he announced that he wouldn’t re-sign with the Patriots for the 2020 season, which shocked the entire organization. 

Brady sold his Massachusetts home ending his 20-year tenure in New England.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Three days after his Match 17 announcement, Brady signed a two-year contract with the Bucs on March 20, 2020. 

The contract is worth $50 Million guaranteed money, making his base salary $15 million per year with a $10 million roster bonus. The deal also includes a no-trade and a non-franchise tag clause.

In his first season with the Tampa Bay Bucs, Brady was reunited with former Patriots tight end Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski after a year of retirement. 

Buccaneers Head coach Bruce Arians stated that Brady has made the request for the team to trade for Gronk. Gronkowski got $9 million in base salary in 2020.

Brady made his Tampa Bay Bucs debut in New Orleans against the New Orleans Saints on September 13, 2020, where the Tampa Bay Bucs won against the Saints 34–23. 

His first win in a new uniform with 23 completes 2 TDs and a passer rating of 78.4.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished the season with an 11-5 record, where they won their second franchise Super Bowl win and 7th for Tom Brady.
