While other quarterbacks, quarterbacks who haven’t accomplished what Tom Brady has or are the caliber of quarterback Brady is, have been signing mega-contracts left and right, Brady, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, has been a relative bargain for much of his career.
That’s likely going to change.
Performance-based incentives being added
Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Patriots are making adjustments to Brady’s contract, adding incentives that will allow the 41-year-old five-time Super Bowl winner to earn up to $5 million more this season.
Brady signed a two-year contract extension in 2016 which expires at the end of the 2019 league year.
