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. 

Tom Brady had a ton of money due to his wife. This is Tee’s second contract and where you make your most money. No reason for him to take less. I mean maybe a little if he wants to stay here and that gets it done, but nothing significant. He certainly doesn’t owe it to fans to make less money.
