Brady\u2019s only deployment solace is \u201chazard pay\u201d that amounts to about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/tampa-bay-buccaneers\/tom-brady-4619\/#:~:text=Current%20Contract&#038;text=In%202022%2C%20Brady%20will%20earn,dead%20cap%20value%20of%20%2447%2C000%2C000.&#038;text=Contract%20Notes%3A,No%2Dtag%20clause%20for%202023\" target=\"_blank\">$30 million a year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfas.mil\/Portals\/98\/Documents\/militarymembers\/militarymembers\/pay-tables\/2021%20MilPay%20General.pdf?ver=MkfmQyc245XzKP414-iRVA%3d%3d\" target=\"_blank\">enlisted service member<\/a>, meanwhile, rarely sees above six figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And unlike most troops, when Brady has been \u201cdeployed\u201d for the past 13 years, he has had the world\u2019s most attractive woman \u2014 supermodel Gisele B\u00fcndchen \u2014 caring for their three children and maintaining a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/noahkirsch\/2021\/02\/05\/tom-brady-multimillion-dollar-homes-brookline-brentwood-indian-creek-super-bowl-55\/?sh=3c8b3e752045\" target=\"_blank\">$26 million<\/a> real estate portfolio that includes houses in Florida, New York, Massachusetts, California, Montana, and, of course, Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the most realistic element of Brady\u2019s comparison is the notion that too many of his deployments may have, as military deployments often do, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/ellendurney\/tom-brady-wedding-without-gisele-bundchen-divorce-rumors\" target=\"_blank\">ruined his marriage<\/a>. Like many military spouses who shelve their dreams to support their families, B\u00fcndchen has seemingly had enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Brady has played 23 seasons in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":106760,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":13,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,23,93,12,25,13,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3272],"class_list":["post-67704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-off-duty","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"ADROUSQFKRFPRJVAV3NPL2QGG4","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/2022\/10\/18\/tom-brady-likens-nfl-to-going-away-on-a-deployment-in-the-military\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
