Brady is far and away best value. Followed by Ben.

Curious if anyone knows what Brady's career earnings would be if he had been the overall #1 pick rather than a 6th rounder? Guessing that he would be much higher than Eli's total.

While I think it's obvious that Brady is better than Eli, the gap would be much smaller if Eli had spent his entire career with New England.

Eli - $205,780,004

Brady - $196,157,208


What would these numbers look like flipping Eli's #1 overall pick contract with Brady's 6th round?

Brady "gave" the hometown discount, rather than wring out every cent and not have a team around him.

His wife also earned a couple hundred million. they are going to be ok.

The main difference between the two is probably just that Brady was a middle round pick and Eli was the first overall pick. Under the old CBA 1st overall picks got paid like they were already all pro. That first contract alone would have put a distance between Brady and Eli that would have been difficult to overcome. What I'm kind of surprised about is the difference between Eli and Rivers. I would have thought they were closer.
