richNjoisy Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 - Brady Contract Extension Stalled -- Fri Mar 25, 2005 --from FFMastermind.com * Tom Curran of the Providence Journal reports that QB Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are still working on a new contract. The latest offer from the Patriots includes a $24 million bonus; however, the structure of the bonus is not to Brady’s liking. “The Patriots wanted to pay Brady his $24-million signing bonus in four installments. More than half of the bonus money would come in the first two years of the deal, but unpaid bonus money in the later years of the contract would not be guaranteed. That would mean if Brady got hurt after a few years, portions of the $24-million bonus would never be realized. Brady, who expected to have his deal done before he left on a trip to Europe earlier this month, balked at the "unusual proposal.” As Curran states, “One interesting subplot to the negotiations is that unless the NFL's owners and the NFLPA agree to a new collective bargaining agreement, the 2007 season is an uncapped year. If -- and that's a big if -- there's an uncapped season and Brady is on the market, the contract he'd be in line to sign could be immense.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Maybe we can wait til they sign him to a 8 year 100 million dollar offer and then trade for him. Of course he'll suck here because he won't have 10 seconds to throw the ball with our line, but hey he has 3 rings already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
