I guess that explains it.That's due in very large part to the fact that his contract is frontloaded; he's making less this year than in other year's of his current contract. I'd say it's a given he will be on that list next year (assuming no lockout) - regardless of whether he signs a nrew contract or is franchised.
This is just a function of his last contract. He was extremely front loaded, which was to his advantage. At the time most big deal included huge years at the end of the contract which would either be renegotiated or the player would never see.(see the Bledsoe $100MMM deal) Instead the Pats took care of Brady upfront with 2 huge years in 2005-6, while having a small year to end the contract.
I don't understand how people see this thing in such a vacuum of one year. He signed a 60MM 5 year deal and will be paid every cent of that deal. Now its simply time to do a new deal
I guess that explains it.
Was Gisselle included in computing all this. She's priceless and that alone would make Brady #1. Well OK, maybe crack the top 50. :bricks:I went trough this list twice because i couldn't believe Brady wasn't in the top Fifty highest payed athletes
