The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LV on Sunday, February 7 at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will be the highest-paid player in this year’s game, with an average annual salary of $25 million, according to data from sports contract website Spotrac. That’s a few million less than the highest-paid player in Super Bowl LIV, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who earned $27.5 million last season.

Brady received a pay increase this season after parting with the New England Patriots, the team he had spent his entire career with prior to transferring to the Buccaneers last March. For the 2019 season, Brady earned around $23 million.

The exact salary of an NFL player varies from year to year depending on many factors, including their base contract, NFL salary caps, bonuses, performance incentives and endorsement deals. While Brady earns an average salary of $25 million under his current two-year contract, what he actually earns varies.

Brady’s contract includes a number of bonus incentives, including $750,000 for a wild card win, $1.25 million for winning an NFC Championship and $1.75 million for reaching the Super Bowl, all of which he achieved in the 2020 season.

And if the Buccaneers win the Vince Lombardi trophy this year, Brady will earn another $2.25 million bonus. That’s in addition to the $130,000 each player on the winning team receive from the NFL.
