A. Do you think Brady would be willing to restructure his contract to accommodate his team's salary cap and help the Pats sign better role players?
B. He has more $$$ than GOD and his wife and himself are set financially.
C. A caller made a GREAT point by saying that Michael Jordan had one of the cheapest salaries on the Bulls b/c Jordan knew he was making Bank on endorsements.
D. I don't want us to screw Brady. but him having and intentionaqlly taking less $$$ will help this team WIN and WIN some more titles
do you see him restructuring his deal?

A $13M cap, for what Brady gives us, is a bargain. Restructuring won't happen because a) he signed the contract less than a year ago, and b) his cap hits jump up to the $17-18M range after this year anyways. It would just screw the team in the future, when we're not screwed at all now.
For perspective, I'm fairly certain that Brady's cap hit this year is a few million less than Eli Manning's, and, will likely be similar to Mark Sanchez's even after Sanchez restructures.
