So I'm banned. Can someone please post this reply to these idiots?
NFL Forum :: - Patriots,Tom Brady agree on three-year,$27 million extension
1. Brady had a 21 million dollar cap hit over the next two years.
2. Every fan in New England would have been in arms if Kraft/Belichick didn't pay him in two years baring his arm falling off
3. The Patriots NEEDED Brady to restructure to manage the cap
4. Brady had all the leverage
5. Brady could have easily demanded it restructured to 5 years 100 million
6. Brady could have easily waited it out and then signed a 4 year, 80 million dollar deal with some desperate team in two years
Brees, Rodgers, Peyton and even guys like Flacco have enough money already to last them multiple life times living luxuriously comfortably. Heck Peyton, Rodgers and Brees could never play another snap, tear up their current contracts and live off their endorsement/sponsership deals for 500 years.
Regardless of this FACT, Brees, Peyton and Flacco all have/are demanding franchise crippling size contracts that seriously limit their teams options. Peyton spurned the Niners who were CLEARLY head and shoulders better than the Broncos because the Niners couldn't offer him the money the Broncos were able to blow on him.
If Peyton truly cared about winning he would have gone to the Niners.
If Flacco truly cared about winning he wouldn't be asking for 20+ a year (and really given his talent in a vacuum, he is not worth anywhere near that).
Brees? He completely and singlehandedly destroyed the Saints and they are doomed for the next 5 years because of him.
Haters going to hate, but it's absolutely insane how much bias people have against Brady. If this were Peyton, Brees, or Rodgers we'd hear nothing but how great they are by these very same people who are ripping Brady and trying to diminish what he's done.
Dont give me this crap about how Brady has made a lot of money and his wife makes a lot of money. Brees, Rodgers and Peyton will never have any issue with money. They are set for life. Brady took a massive pay cut for the soul benefit of his team.
Brady's extension was agreeing to more guaranteed money and a max value of 3 years, 27 million. Mark freaking Sanchez got 3 years 40 million dollar extension. Any neanderthal with half a brain can see Brady could have asked for a LOT more money.
