I was just stating that Brady was a bargain at the QB position, that is not wrong, no? Even this data you just posted, since Brady was re-upped in 2016 he has earned a total 9.8 million less than Wilson has thus far. This is also including hitting performance incentives for going to the SuperBowl and such.
Another thing to take into consideration is that in 2015 Russell was still playing out the last year of his rookie contract. He got a signing bonus but his base salary was still only 700k. In 2016 that base salary ballooned to 12 million along with the a similar 6 million dollar signing bonus once his old contract was up. Really his second contract begun in 2016:

Wilson was signed to a pretty good deal IMO compared to a lot of the other QB's. Even still Brady got even less than Wilson did over that duration. Both Brady's and Wilson's new contract begun in 2016, and Brady was a QB that was just coming off of a SuperBowl win a year ago, plus a QB that had two MVP's and a long history of being productive under his belt with no signs of slowing down. He could have demanded to be the top paid QB in the NFL, but he didn't do that. It is pretty clear that Brady was taking a pay cut. Despite Wilson being signed to a relatively team friendly contract, Brady still earned 9.8 million dollars less than Wilson did since both of their contract extensions begun in 2016 (not including 2019).
Now, if you compare Brady to someone like Rodgers, or perhaps Matt Ryan, Flacco, etc you'd see that the disparity grew even larger. For example in 2016 Eli Manning was the highest paid QB and there was around a 10 million dollar differential between Brady, and Manning for just that one season. In the next season, Brady was making 10 million dollars less than Flacco, the highest paid QB. Wilson, too was making far less than those guys, but the contrast was even steeper between Brady and the top paid players.
In fact, the last year Tom Brady was even in the top 10 salary range for QB's was way back in 2013. That year he was the 5th highest paid QB. The year before in 2012 he was the 16th highest paid QB, in 2011 he was once again in the top 10 sitting at number 8, and he was top five once again in 2010.
So, since 2010 he has only been in the top 10 highest paid QBs list three times, all of those coming at the beginning of the decade (2010, 2011, 2013). Since 2013 he has not even touched the top 10 salary list for Quarterbacks, and he has signed three separate contracts, and has probably had just as many contract restructures since then. Before 2010 Brady was consistently in the top 5 highest paid QB's. With this data I think it is pretty cut and dry that Brady has given his team a substantial discount over the years compared to what he could be garnering. Now, in 2019 he is once again going to be a top 5 paid QB. So, for the entirety of the 2010's he has been only reached top 10 status four times including this upcoming season.
Wilson also signed a contract friendly, bargain contract, but in my previous statement I was talking about how Brady was a bargain compared to what most of the league is paying for their QB's, and that has been the truth in the 2010s, especially in the later half where he hasn't even reached top 10 pay status, and had disparities of 10 million or greater in salary between the top QBs since 2013, despite being up for contract renegotiation twice in that five year duration from 2013 - 2018.
