Green Bay just doesn't do as great of a job putting up a better team around him then other teams does. Brady had 3 INTs in this game and still won. Green Bay selecting a QB with their first pick should tell you alot.
Part of it is that he got the biggest QB contracts when it was time to extend him. That is why the Packers struggled to build up a great supporting cast.
They also had the philosophy of not paying too much for other players, letting them walk than giving top market contracts for anyone other than Rodgers.
It’s still the case that most SB winners didn’t have rosters with one or two players, usually QBs, taking up a certain percentage of the cap.
Brady has gone to all those SBs and won those rings consistently taking well below his market value. He’s earning $25 million this year compared to how much Rodgers is getting?
I’ve heard that even with 3 years left on his deal this might be a ploy to get a renegotiated deal, either more money and/or more years.
people always bring up bradys discount but you need to factor in:
1) his wife is worth like 300 million. I dont think any other NFL players significant other is worth that much, so they need to get as much bag as possible for their families
2) unions frown upon discounts, and it would be a issue if a lot of the stars started to take discounts as it deflates the value of players when it comes to contracts and the CBA
