The NFL and college football have 12 coaches who earn in the most than any other coach of a sport and Belichick beats them all. He sure loves his job and without a doubt, he is one of the finest coaches in the NFL. The recent struggles that the Patriots were facing did not stop their coach from earning what he deserved.

The icon, Tom Brady earned less than the previous season. However, Brady wasn’t affected by the amount he earned. It’s amazing to see his passion for football still stand tall. Let’s see how much Brady made in the 2022 season.
How much money has Tom Brady made in 2022?
The American quarterback is still the highest-paid athlete in the NFL. With a base salary of $1,120,000 and a signing bonus of $28,880,000, he earned quite a good amount. Forbes gave away the names of the top 10 highest-paid NFL athletes and Brady lead the queue. If we compare the athlete’s earnings in 2022 and Belichick’s earnings this season, we cannot argue that Belichick deserves what he earned but Brady deserves a raise too.

Brady’s agents did add incentives and to unlock those bonuses he had to achieve a few milestones. The Bucs quarterback made $1.125 million in 2021 after finishing as the league leader in touchdowns thrown.
