Brady contract situation (Merged - UPDATED:Deal Done)

[rochrist]

As someone else said, most HoF QBs end up going to a different team. They all want to keep playing longer than their team wants to pay. And some other team is always willing to pony up to make it worth their while.

None of them did it at age 43.

 

[Biffins]

In the hypothetical scenario where TB becomes a free agent and actually leaves for another team, the value of the team would take a massive hit which would far exceed the cost of extending Tom.

Kraft is not stupid, he will not ever let TB hit FA. Either he plays or retires.

That does make sense. So Brady should get extended on a deal similar to Brees’ at $25m per year

Was listening to Sportstalk yesterday, Bertram was in his usual form.. he was yakking about how BB does not want to sign Brady any further because he has never coached a 42 year old QB, then he goes into some sort of diatribe how Robert and Jonathan Kraft are going to become involved to keep Brady here... Zolak in true Zolak form did not comment on Bertram's crazy line of thinking..

Of course the Krafts are gonna be involved or at least consulted they own the freaking team... Bertram et al seem to believe that if there was a rift between Brady/BB they should continue to capitalize on it..

Needless to say went right back to Pandora... unfortunately Sportstalk radio is a shell of what it used to be, now it pushes conspiracy theories were there are none...

No idea what fake controversies local sports radio will talk about now.

Local media with another loss

 

[SBLIII]

Good. Interest in the numbers.

 

[Love The Drake]

Maybe 2 year contract 3 year would make sense as well.

 

[Vatahala]

The restructuring of Brady's contract will free up money to resign Thuney.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Awesome! I want him to retire as a patriot and not play for any other team!

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

No way...I thought he was finishing up his career with a miserable flameout in Tampa Bay, according to local reporters.

 

[IcyPatriot]

8 years ..... $240 million ............
















JK .........

This should give us an idea of what the timetable for Brady retiring is...I would imagine this is his last contract.

At the very least it gives me great faith that this is not his last!!!!

There were plenty of posters here ready to lose it, too.

considering everyone says short term I would assume it's at most 2 additional years.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Just got an NFL update...deal finalized

 

[PatsSox363804]

How dare they announce this prior to the first preseason game and ruin all the Hot Takez

[patchick]

Done, apparently:

Tom Brady agrees to contract extension with Patriots

 

[SHOWTIME15]

considering everyone says short term I would assume it's at most 2 additional years.

Well, that's 3 more years total then. I would hope that he stays for 1 more year after that...Bill may want to see how well Tom is playing then and take it on a year by year basis.
