On Saturday morning, ESPN’s Field Yates reported additional details regarding the adjustments made to Tom Brady’s contract.
Source: as part of his reworked deal, Tom Brady had $10M of his $14M base salary converted into a signing bonus. That means Brady gets $10M guaranteed now, while his cap number for this year will not increase at all as part of the new deal.

The move answers many questions brought about by the release of the details of Brady’s new $5 million incentive supplement on Friday afternoon.
