Not really. In the end it's all about taking care of your family over winning a couple more games. I'm sure Drew Brees, Peyton manning, Aaron Rodgers and so on are all really good people, but their still not taking less money like you think they should be. I wonder why....

Tom Brady took less money.
quote:
Tom Brady signed a three-year contract extension for $27 million yesterday in a deal that will keep him in New England until 2017, Sports Illustrated's Peter King reports.
The going rate for a top-tier QB these days is $20 million a year. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning make that, and Joe Flacco is asking for it in free agency.
quote:
So Brady didn't just give the Pats a hometown discount, he signed a deal for less than half of what he's worth on the open market.
The reasons are simple: He wants to win and he wants job security.
quote:
By taking less money, Brady will have better players around him.
