How much will Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes earn for winning Super Bowl 55?

They’re two of the highest-profile gamers within the NFL, and with that notoriety comes the form of wealth most individuals can solely dream of.

When Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes sq. off in Sunday’s Tremendous Bowl, some huge cash might be on the road. Whereas the groups themselves stand to make a ton of money from the league’s championship sport, Brady and Mahomes are additionally in line so as to add to their sizable financial institution accounts by profitable the entire thing.

Precisely how a lot every quarterback can take residence varies as particular person contracts dictate the phrases of such payouts, however this is what we all know:

How a lot will Tom Brady earn for profitable Tremendous Bowl 55?

The controversial biggest of all time, Brady, unsurprisingly has some huge cash on the road when he takes to the sector at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday.

According to Spotrac, the Buccaneers QB has already pulled in $1.25 million because of the crew’s playoff success this season. Brady earned $500,000 for main the Bucs to their first postseason berth in 13 years, then added one other $250,000 for Tampa Bay’s 31-23 Wild Card win over the Washington Soccer Workforce.

Brady pocketed one other $500,000 after profitable his showdown with Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints within the Divisional Spherical, and earned one other half-million when the Bucs claimed the NFC Championship on Jan. 24.

The 43-year-old stands to take residence one other $500,000 if the Buccaneers win the Tremendous Bowl on residence soil, so long as he performs 75 p.c of the sport (that means he needs to be on the sector for 75 p.c of the Bucs’ snaps, as he was for every of the earlier playoff video games).

In complete, a Tampa Bay Tremendous Bowl victory would earn Brady a cool $2.25 million on high of the almost $30 million he is already taken residence this season.

How a lot will Patrick Mahomes earn for profitable Tremendous Bowl 55?

This one’s a bit more difficult as a result of overlapping contracts, as Mahomes is (partially) enjoying underneath his entry-level deal regardless of already having signed the richest NFL contract in historical past.

As a result of he is nonetheless working by means of his rookie deal, particulars on Mahomes’ incentives are a bit tougher to come back by. What we do know is that the 25-year-old earned at the least $124,000 for serving to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs win Tremendous Bowl 54 (every member of the Chiefs was assured at the least that a lot, and Mahomes might need taken residence extra).

Sure, that is small potatoes compared to Brady’s present deal. Nonetheless, contemplating that it got here on the finish of Mahomes’ second full season within the NFL (he performed only one sport through the 2017 marketing campaign), it is comprehensible why he did not have any recognized playoff incentives at that cut-off date.

Nevertheless, that Tremendous Bowl win (and being named the NFL MVP the earlier season) gave Mahomes all of the leverage he wanted for his second deal. Signed final summer season, Mahomes’ monster contract totally kicks in for the 2022 season and can see the Chiefs pivot earn $1.25 million each time he leads his crew to the Tremendous Bowl from that 12 months by means of to 2031. That is for making it to the sport itself, not for really profitable it.

Whereas Sportac and different contract-tracking websites do not specify if Mahomes would pull in further cash for every Tremendous Bowl victory, it is a truthful assumption that he’ll see greater than the six-figure minimal injected into his checking account ought to he increase the Vince Lombardi Trophy — even if it comes from endorsements as an alternative of wage.
