The New England Patriots have agreed to a one-year deal with quarterback Cam Newton ... wait, hold on.
THIS JUST IN!
Tom Brady has agreed to a contract extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that will keep him with the team through 2022.
Whoa. This is a big deal.
Brady will be 45 at that point, but he just led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory — his seventh — last month, while claiming the game's most valuable player trophy for the fourth time.
The extension adds a year to the two-year, $50-million contract he signed as a free agent in 2020 (the new deal also reportedly includes a couple of void years at the end to help with salary cap issues).
