He’ll have it easier this off season considering the ridiculous amount of cap space available.

That’s all thanks to Tom’s dodgy contract. Hopefully commissioner Goodell looks into it, it fucking stinks.

you should take the view of lapsed poster @Sandymount_Red to the situation, Brady could get more money if he wanted, but it’s not all about money with him. Is it better to be winning superbowls and leaving a legacy? Or to get paid a few million more, cripple a team and fade out into obscurity?

Tom Brady has signed a new 3-year, $27m deal. Apparently he’s helped them clear cap space and has been very reasonable in his demands. I don’t understand how the salary cap works so I can’t verify this.

It was a 3 year extension and guarantees Brady $60 million over 5 years. That works out at £12 million per annum and is peanuts for a player of his stature, I doubt he will be in the top 10 paid QBs this year.

It is refreshing to see a QB take this approach to help his team win a Super Bowl, I suppose it helps when you are already a multi-millionaire and married to fabulously rich super model. But let’s not be churlish, it makes the likes of Flacco and Brees look like the greedy cunts that they are. The Saints have suffered enormously because of Brees eating up their cap space and the Ravens are about to suffer the same as Flacco holds them to ransom.

It’s obvious Brady wants to retire a Patriot and win at least one more Super Bowl and this deal allows the franchise a great shot at fulfilling that.

The Jets on the other hand are a total basket case.

@Sandymount_Red had the right idea above.
