Of course he doesn't want to talk about it. All anybody wants to mention is how he's getting shafted.

lol, that's exactly how he wants to frame it. He's a 35 year old quarterback who just got a guaranteed $30m extension. That's a huge payday anyway you look at it.

Like I said, this isn't Culpepper money, this is guaranteed money. If you ask me it's highway robbery.

The Patriots are now on the hook for a guaranteed $60 million to Brady until he is 40 years old. What a saint!

What do you think of baseball and basketball contracts?

Also won't it be awesome if they bench Brady and he gets paid anyways?

 

[eznark]

I have no problem with them signing the contract. They paid him a fuck-ton of money to free up some cap space to win while he is still a decent QB. This fucks them down the road but by then maybe the cap will increase. That's the hope and considering Bob Kraft is the commissioner, it is a good bet.

But he already got paid a huge chink of it. Brady can just sit on the sidelines doing his nails now and there isnt a thing the Pats can do. The rest of the league must be furious with them for doing this. NFL owners have fought guaranteed contracts forever.

Players have to be furiously spanking. Not only did Brady get a massive raise, the media is pretending like he is a martyr!

If I'm Flacco I sign a deal for $61m guaranteed today. That's significantly more valuable than the $100m he wants for 6 years or whatever when you factor risks and TVM.

I am either stupid or old (or possibly both) but I really can't comprehend these transgender children debates.

Ez I might have to buy a pickup truck, move to a farm and become a Repub. Can I still be a Republican if I have a Japanese truck? Is there some kind of intro guide for this sort of thing?

racist

What? I could understand sexist, but not racist. I really do think we will see more players push for fully guaranteed contracts now. This is going to open the door to contracts like MLB is stuck with.

 

[effzee]

I get drafting a future qb before you actually need it, but drafting one in a really weak class is just punting a draft pick and wasted opportunity to pick up something that could help you more

That's the Andy Reid mantra!

In his 5 years in the league Joe Flacco has not missed a single game, made the playoffs all 5 years, has 3 AFC Championship appearances, and 1 Superbowl MVP.

Losers brag about their stats, winners hoist trophies and fuck the prom queen.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

It's all Brady PR. That email statement is such bullshit look-at-how-honorable-team-first-I-am. The average fan doesn't understand guaranteed money, all they see is a lower number and the media spin. Plus, Brady can talk about all the money football players make compared to the average man, but his breadwinner wife makes 50 mil a year! What a fucking saint.

. Such a pompous dick, and his email offended me because he thinks I'm dumb.

And yeah, she's cute, nothing to write home about.

Tom Brady's generous gesture worthy of scrutiny

It should also be noted that Brady, according to two sources familiar with the deal, did get something out of the extension: With a $30 million signing bonus, he'll be guaranteed $3 million more over the first two years of the deal than he otherwise would have. Additionally, if he's still on the roster following the 2014 season, the other $27 million becomes fully guaranteed against a career-ending injury — a $24 million upgrade on the previous deal.

 

[mastershake]

Yet you are the one labeling an average at best woman as 'beautiful'.

Who's lacking standards here, again?

Give her a unibrow and it could be his sister.

 

[squicken]

Why do you keep trolling GAF with this? Brady got the most guaranteed money any NFL players ever has. He is going to get $60m no matter what now. He seems like a guy that is going to just fall off a cliff in terms of production, we can already see his arm strength evaporate. This is a crazy good deal for him. I highly doubt he would have gotten another $60m on his old deal, before the Pats cut him.

I'm not trolling. ez makes a very good point about the precedent for getting guaranteed dollars 5 years out, when teams really only like to do 2 or 3 years, but he is absolutely taking less than market value.

It's probably what, 5x more guaranteed money than the next closet 35 year old QB has ever gotten? If Brady hits the open market, there is zero change he gets $60m guaranteed.

That's right, I'm on NeoGaf where a woman is either a stunning specimen of human perfection or a sharp-kneed dog. Though I will say she definitely married up. Just look at that stallion next her! RAWR!

What's the market value for a 40-year-old quarterback? Is it $15 million guaranteed? I don't know why anyone with real knowledge of football contracts is fawning over this deal.

He might be getting less in terms of total dollars, and even that is debatable due to his age and declining skills, but he will get $24m more then he would have and it is all guaranteed if he is just on the roster at the start of the 2014 season.

Peyton is a year older, made 18m last year, and will soon trigger a guaranteed 2 year/40m pickup. Maybe New England tears up the deal, but he could have gotten much more

Manning's contract was $18m guaranteed. Every other bit of that contract had stipulations. So it's only 3x more than the next comparable deal. Way to take a discount, Tammy!

That's why the Patriots were able to get Brady for the money they did. No way Brady wants to get exposed in another division.

Wow, shocked Reid would want him. Reid has always been a guy that wants to get the ball down the field and have big plays come from the passing game. I dont see small hands fitting in there at all.
