Tom Brady Is Not Going Anywhere
Have no fear, Brady will be here.
It was reported by Yahoo.com’s Michael Silver earlier this week that there is a “growing sense of disconnect” between the Patriots and Tom Brady in their contract negotiations.
Should we be worried?
No way.
Don’t buy it for one second. This is the Patriots we’re talking about. They’re one of the most secretive organizations in professional sports and despite Silver’s credibility this it not an issue. It is business as usual and the Patriots are doing their due diligence as they figure out how to keep key potential 2011 free agents Brady, Moss, and Mankins in the fold.
NFL.com’s Jason LaCanfora reported last night that Tom Terrific won’t sign until Peyton Manning signs.
Why would he?
Each side has this figured out. The Patriots would rather the Colts set the market, so when Brady signs a hometown discount the team can sign other key players. The Colts then will then be stuck with a monstrosity of a contract with key players Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis already bickering about their contract statuses.
There’s little doubt that Manning will get the largest contract in NFL history. Frankly, he deserves it at this point. The Patriots are too smart though to let the Colts use a Brady deal as a blueprint.
In 2005, when the team was coming off of their third Super Bowl, Tom left some money on the table when he re-upped for 6 years and $60 million.
Gisele made $25 million last year.
You’d have to think Brady would do it again right?
Unless his ego has gone through the roof, Brady doesn’t necessarily need the money. His wife Gisele Bundchen was the highest paid model in the world last year making an estimated $25 million. The man’s not short on cash these days.
Don’t buy into the media fabricating everything Brady. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t in Foxborough all off season and it doesn’t matter that he hasn’t resigned yet. Tom Brady will be a Patriot for life. In Belichick we trust.
