Rapoport: Josh McDaniels new contract is for 5 years (with one year as high as $4m

[ctpatsfan77]

I think Brady means it about, 41,42,43,44 and 45.

I think the McDaniels contract is interesting in what it means about Belichick. I actually think it makes it more likely Belichick is staying a bit longer. So much of the speculation was McDaniels staying might mean this is Belichick's last year. I think this contract makes that unlikely. Josh taking over this team at age 45, 46 is very reasonable, plus his family situation and pay here is excellent.

We know two things:

• BB has stated his intention not to coach into his 70s as Marv Levy did.
• BB has told the Krafts how much longer he plans to coach.

BTW, we also know that coach's contracts are generally guaranteed.

"At one point his contract eclipses $4 million per year"

It's not clear how much he's making in total over 5 years.

the claus is no sweep plays
