FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady turned to humor Thursday when asked about not being among the NFL's highest-paid quarterbacks, which was appropriate considering who was conducting the interview.
In an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", Brady explained his willingness to play for less by saying: "I think the thing I've always felt for me, and my life, winning has been a priority -- and my wife makes a lot of money. I'm a little smarter than you think."
Brady smiled, and the crowd laughed, before he turned more serious.
"Actually, it's the salary cap and you can only spend so much," he said.
