The news that Tom Brady will continue one more season in the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers revolutionized American sports. The quarterback will have a total salary of $ 50 million. And if we compare him with LeBron James and Javier Chicharito Hernández, two NBA and MLS stars respectively, who has the highest salary next season? 

Taking into account the reduction of the salary cap imposed by the NFL for the 2021 season, this year Brady will have a salary of $ 41,075 million; while for the 2021-22 tournament, "just" will receive in his bank account about $ 8,925 million. Let us remember that the second year of the contract could not be carried out if both parties so decide.

Los Angeles Lakers decided to make a change to LeBron James' contract in December of last year. According to what was reported at the time, the 35-year-old forward agreed to a maximum contract for two years and a total sum of $ 85 million. During the 2021-2022 season he will earn $ 41,180,544, while in the 2022-2023 season he will earn $ 44,474,988. An important event takes place for this campaign and could mark his future.

It's that that same year, his eldest son LeBron Raymone Bronny James Jr completes his university stage and will have the possibility of making the leap to the NBA. On more than one occasion, King James expressed his desire to play with his son in a franchise. Will it be him in the Lakers?

Finally, Los Angeles Galaxy gave Javier Hernandez a salary of $ 15 million for a three-year tie in January 2020. That is, the highest contract of the attacker's career. At 31 years old, the forward is interested in the economic proposal of the American team and it is one of the key aspects to leave Europe after his steps through Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Leverkusen, West Ham and Sevilla.
