Brady's contract will get redone, he will get substantial upfront bonus money and his cap hit will be seriously reduced. It's what they have always done, it's the reason his cap number is always team friendly while at the same time no one in the history of the game whose last name isn't Manning has more cash earnings than Brady. Not even the incorrectly labeled greedy Drew Brees. Brady has never played the last year of a deal and the Pats have consistently made sure he gets his cash upfront. It's good business for both sides and business has been very very good indeed. When it comes to the cap the Pats are easily the smartest kid in the class, it's not even close.
