Sitting at the poker table with the New England Patriots, Tom Brady is representing a monster hand. Two face cards, at least.
For the better part of two years, the greatest quarterback of all time has been flexing his muscle with the only team he’s ever known. This week he escalated that behavior with two important life decisions, made in quick succession.
For the first time in his career, Brady is set to become a free agent when his newly minted contract voids at the end of this upcoming season. It appears the days of discounts are over, and Brady’s 2019 salary of around $15 million got bumped up to $23 million.
