Tom Brady certainly did almost his entire career, until he went to Tampa Bay. Not only was he making salaries of $6 million/year, $10 million/year, etc., for most of his time with New England (with the eventual high I think of $30 million/year or so, at the end of his time there), but even after his Super Bowls, and MVPs, he took a three-year extension for just $27 million. He took that lower salary with the hope the team would have money to sign Wes Walker.  In other words, to make the team better.

I'm still hoping Tee will take a team-friendly deal. If not, if he's going to take top-five money, then I'm all for joining the trade Tee group. 

Make it stop. The tom brady analogies are getting so tired. Tom Brady was the best QB to ever play the position. He’s 1 in a 100 year player.


Players don’t take discounts to play for a billionaire owner. I certainly am not taking below my market value for my job. In fact, I want to make more. I want to provide for my family. It doesn’t matter if these players “make enough”, human nature is to worship the dollar. Like it or not.


Higgins will sing a deal that’s good for him. If the bengals can’t give him what he finds acceptable, he’ll go to FA and have a large amount of suitors looking for his talent. KC could come knocking on his door and he won’t take a discount to play for a proven multi SB winning team, and future HOF QB and coach.
