"Fox's 10-year, $375 million deal with Brady works out to about $37.5 million a year. That's 15 times the roughly $25 million he made as the highest-paid player in Super Bowl LV-era salary terms-before you even get into the performance bonuses, stock options, and the endorsement halo that followed him for decades. It's ironic the greatest quarterback of all time is getting his biggest check only after he retires."
""To me, failure is amazing," Brady said onstage at Fortune's 2024 Global Forum, explaining the only way to build real confidence is to put yourself "in uncomfortable positions," mess up, and then figure out the solution. "The reality of your business and career is overcoming adversity," he continued. "The only way to do that is to fail." He described the reflex of other leaders who pass blame around the room, like watching a quarterback insist the receiver caused a mistake: "I'm watching the screen like, what did you just say?:""
Tom Brady transitioned from earning primarily as a player in brutal NFL games to earning significantly more through media, notably a 10-year, $375 million Fox deal averaging about $37.5 million per year. That annual figure is roughly 15 times the about $25 million he once made as the highest-paid player in Super Bowl LV-era salary terms, not counting bonuses, stock options, and endorsement benefits. Brady promotes failure as essential to building confidence, urging people to take uncomfortable positions, fail, own errors, and solve problems. His rookie season as Fox's lead analyst was awkward, as he often relied on prepared notes and later cringed at replays.
