Thanks to Forbes, we already know that Bill Belichick is the highest-paid coach in North America. Now, Forbes tells us that two of his players — quarterback Tom Brady and offensive lineman Logan Mankins — are rolling in it as well.

Brady was ranked 28th on the list of the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes of the last year, as Forbes said the quarterback earmed a total of $27.1 million, including $23.1 million in total salary and $4 million in endorsements from UGGs and Under Armour. As for Mankins, he’s at No. 51 on the list with $21.9 million, including $100,000 in endorsements. No other Patriots made the list.

To provide some sort of context, the top earner on the list is boxer Floyd Mayweather, who took home $85 million. Meanwhile, White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy made $16.6 million to finish at No. 100.

    I agree lol, mankind has never impressed me in the field. Seen Brady get smashed from his side way to often. Really thought he would have at the very least been put at a back up roll after the giants beat us in two SB. But in bill we trust.
