Tom Brady is in a union. That doesn't mean he gets paid the same as everyone else in the union, it just means the rookie he's throwing the ball to gets non-abusive treatment.

Yes but the union also limits how much Tom Brady can get paid and where he is allowed to work.

Also once you try to enter the pros, you don’t get to decide the team you go to. It’s based on which team chooses you based on the draft order. Teams also can’t compete with each other for the best players. If a team chose Tom Brady and had the first pick, another team can’t offer him more money to come to their team.

Do you really want to use that as an example?

> He was scheduled to earn $14 million in base salary with a $1 million roster bonus in both 2018 and 2019

Works for me.

Anyway, the rules you are talking about are NFL rules, and NFL is a legal trust. The NFL draft is equivalent to a hiring manager claiming you from your company's hiring pool. Tom Brady can play football in a different league if he wants to, and his union has negotiated his right to profit from his IP outside of team work.

So do you think being in s union is going to net you $14 million?
