Tom Brady and Patriots Agree to Contract Extension

PrintEarly last month, the writers of Pats Pulpit nearly unanimously chose Tom Brady's contract situation as the story that would be the most overplayed in 2010. That storyline will be overplayed no more, as Tom Brady and the Patriots have agreed to a contract extension that will pay the future Hall of Fame quarterback through 2014. ProFootballTalk.com reports:
Peter King reported during NBC's halftime show that the Patriots have finalized a four-year contract extension with Tom Brady that runs through 2014. The information comes directly from Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Kraft and King didn't discuss contract terms, but King says it's "safe to say" Brady is now the league's highest paid play averaging roughly $19 million a year.
The deal will be official on Friday when the Patriots file paperwork with league office in New York.
And just like that, the biggest weight on the Patriots' future has been lifted. Tom Brady will be the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots for the next five seasons, at least. Now, there will be no more ridiculous rumors of a growing "disconnect" between Brady and the Patriots. There's no chance that Brady will be the biggest free agent in NFL history. Whatever nonsense you were thinking of, get it out of your head.
I could go on and provide more analysis of the deal. But to be honest, we all know how great Tom Brady is. Having him and Belichick make the team a championship contender until 2014 at the minimum. Brady will also get the chance to work with the young new core the Patriots have been developing on both sides of the ball.
The bigger question is, what becomes the next over-hyped storyline following the Patriots? Could it be the Randy Moss contract situation? Youth on defense? Pass rush issues. Honestly, who knows. Tonight, however, is a great night for Patriots fans, so enjoy it.
Of course, when more specifics of Brady's contract become available, we will post them here. Until then, stay tuned!
Update: Peter King now has some contract numbers. The deal is officially for four year and $72 million. $48.5 million will be guaranteed. The deal makes Brady the highest annually paid player in NFL history.

Happy that this got done and that Tom is finally being paid what he deserves
As for the next big non-story… thats easy… the media’s favorite fall back non-story: Randy Moss
On a side note, anyone else underwhelmed by this Vikings – Saints game?
Yeah. But on par for game 1 of a new season.
The intensity was good, though.
Looks like that Peterson kid is going to do, after all. Brees looks really sharp (for most of it). I called the favreception literally seconds before it happened. My sole triumph of the year.

Who'd've thunk it?
They can kill two birds with one stone: the ridiculous “Brady-Patriots disconnect” storyline and the ridiculous “Pats never pay their players” storyline. That makes two positions the Pats are paying absolute NFL top-rate to – 3-4 NT (Wilfork @ $40M), and QB (Brady @ ~$76M). Notice something? One’s the key position in the offence, one’s the key position in the 3-4 defence. Notice something else? Both players shut up, didn’t whinge to the press, and were team players all the way through. Both got bank.

Peyton better watch his back ...
One report suggested the aftershocks of Brady being involved in that accident helped speed up the process of getting the final pieces in place.
What a surprise
The whole offseason BS about him being unhappy and there being trouble down the line ends with Tom Brady and the team agreeing relatively easilly to a big extension right as the season gets underway.
Who ever could have seen this coming?
USG
Exactly
But really, anyone who has ever followed the Pats or Mr. Brady’s career at all was never buying into the “disconnect”, That was all drummed up by hack Yahoo writers(I’m looking at you Silver)

Good for Tom..... He deserves it! Now let's take care of Randy.
I’m thinking Peyton’s contract will be about 100 million.
Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck.
~Don Shula
You are probably right
but by the end of that contract, it will hurt the Colts. Lets not forget Peyton is older than Brady and his deal will probably be longer than Brady’s. They’ll be tying up 20+mil of their cap in a 39 year old qb. And yes, I’m assuming there will be a cap in the new agreement because the owners will not go without one…period
I exercise strong self control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast
Kraft is one of the owners most involved in the salary-cap discussions (Jerry Jones being another)
So I’d have to imagine the Pats organisation is one of the clubs most in the know about how discussions are progressing and what kind of cap may or may not be imposed.

I absolutely agree.
Like I just posted below, Kraft is an outstanding business man AND wants to win more than anything. He wouldn’t hurt the long term chances of the team’s success just to keep one player happy, even a HOF QB.

With Polian I'm not so sure

Polian would cut all his O-line before not signing Manning, though.
After all, it was the O-line that threw the interception cost the Colts the Superbowl against the Saints. Despite, you know, not actually giving up a sack the whole game…

Haha right?
The par that pisses me off about him though, is that other QBs had complained about the new umppire placement behind the QB but no one batted an eyelash. Peyton “Crown Prince” Manning said something and the league had meetings THE NEXT DAY and moved the umps around a little. To me, with Goodell playing Johnny Toughguy all the time, I really don’t see how he has any credibility at all with the players union or even fans to let Polian set policy based on HIS QB?! Just shouldn’t be allowed
I exercise strong self control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast
His argument would be something like:
“The best QB in the league and/or crowd favourite QB and/or most merchandisable NFL face wants x; if Manning suffers, the league suffers, rah rah, no more money to league because it’s an inferior product”
None of which I’d actually have a problem with – a quicker game is a good game, and 2 minute offences are some of the more exciting parts of it. But it would look a hell of a lot better if they’d polled all starting QBs or Pro Bowl QBs or coaches or whatever, instead of just having the Polian-Manning tag-team dictate terms to the league.

Has this whole episode not set alarm bells off
with fans as to how rules are actually voted on by the competition committee!? The fact that Polian voted for this rule without even realising the implications for his own team’s offense is just ridiculous and makes you wonder how much consideration and due dilligence is given to each new rule created.
I suspect that was one pushed through by whatever passes for a Referees Union
Because it was entirely down to the increase of referees being skittled and/or injured during the season – an increase proportionate to the increase in passing plays instead of runs over the last few years.
I have no qualms about making the game safer for referees, but how they went about it is a little strange.

Nope
I’m not exactly the incendiary type (don’t ask my kids though) but I think he had a terrific community over there and blew it. So what if people disagreed? So what if they criticized his stand on an issue?
He wants to be the only one with an extreme opinion, no matter how ‘out there’ or distorted it might be, and allow no one to call him on the carpet. Not only do I think that’s wrong in principle, but it really stifled and sifted out a bunch of loyal, vocal and opinionated fans -the perfect ingredients you want in a blog, in my opinion.

In the post I linked, he banned people merely for disagreeing with him and mocking his argument
He has an unbridled hatred of Anthony Gonzalez, from what I gathered, and was claiming that Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie will/should overtake Gonzalez’s spot (or something to that effect, I lost track of the drivel).
Some people pointed out Gonzalez’s hands are great and that while Garcon put up stats, he drops nearly 50% of his passes, but phrased it in a “BigBlueShoe doesn’t know what he’s talking about, look at the stats” way – banhammered.

Kraft seems to be one of the owners that have the most influence. This means that most of the owners will wait till he moves before they do anything. If you observe this past draft signings, it was the Patriots that wrapped up the signing of their draft picks before any other team during prior CBA year. That should tell you his behind the scenes power and influence.
I noticed the other top owner, Jerry Jones, just signed his WR to a massive extension on the same day...
anyone want to bet that Jerry Jones and Bob Kraft know something about the new CBA that we don’t?

I thought the most interesting aspect of the game turned out to be the running game.
As in, the Saint’s Pierre Thomas’ ability to run right up the gut of the Vikings defense, again and again, in the 4th quarter.
THAT was ultimately what decided the game (since no one else could do anything – including kick a lousy field goal).
They can live without Sharper. He's a lot more replaceable than, say, Vilma
I’d say today was a combination of Favre not having his go-to guy, and the Vikings selling out to protect Favre when he dropped back to pass. I thought Berrian could fill in for Rice pretty well, but he just looked lost (and overmatched)
Shawn Camp earned my dog several beatings back in 2007
by wtbudlight on Aug 30, 2010 5:54 PM PDT
I'm surprised more props don't go Vilma's way, in all honesty
If Sharper executes a lot of the turnovers, Harrison-style, Vilma creates the pressure to set up those turnovers in the first place (as well as occasionally coming up with a big play). He reminds me of Karlos Dansby in terms of underappreciated inside linebackers.
Berrian’s more of a deep threat, a la Devery Henderson, than an all-round WR. Rice is a big, strong unit, somewhat akin to Robert Meachem, and can run all the routes (although he’d be a bit wasted on Welker-like stuff).

Vilma
the only JET when a FA thought the patriots should get. High motor, Fast as the wind, pretty smart and never in the wrong spot. Just glad he went to NO to win a Title with Evens, and Mills.
Jeffrey M Melhorn
He might've been wasted in the middle of the Pats 3-4
He didn’t take to the Jets 3-4 when they instituted it, which is why the Jets didn’t need his services any more. He’s a high-motor, pretty fast playmaker, which suits a 4-3 MLB more than a 3-4 ILB. He’s probably not stout enough to shed blocks, Spikes-style, and he’s more of a risk-taker than Mayo. He’d have been interesting as a guy to move around in different down-and-distance situations, though.

They might've been actual slotbacks
The Vikings are a little thin on the ground at WR with Rice out and Harvin having his headaches. With Harvin on the team it almost makes sense to run non-standard formations.
I didn’t see the play, but I’d suspect it’s some form of 4WR-Tight formation – the Eagles run similar sets, too.

Basicall Favre in the gun, one receiver right to his left and a little forward, other just a little bit further left/forward. Both within the tackles. Odd.

Like the old Vick Falcons Big formation?
They used to do that with Vick at shotgun, and two of his RBs on either side either as blockers or pass-catchers.
I guess it’d make sense if Harvin was one of the WR/HBs – that’s basically what he plays anyway, and he can both run and catch passes from that formation. Otherwise, doesn’t seem a normal formation to me.

I think dudes like us are in for thin gruel for the forseeable future, tho. Every rules change in the last 20 years has been made to liberate the passing game, deemphasize the run and the defense, and “protect” players from contact.

Robert Kraft is a pro businessman
and on top of that his goal is to win win win. (Forgive me…) almost like a Steinbrenner. If this deal would cripple his ability to sign, or draft the way he and BB want to, I don’t think he would have agreed to it.

Hey, George didn't piss me off because he was all about winning --
he pissed me off because he was a blow-hard and an attention-whore (at least when it came to MLB). Go ahead and make a Kraft-Steinbrenner comparison; it makes sense. (Plus, they’re certainly more akin to each other than to their respective fan-bases.)

No idea how it's structured
It’s only been reported at an average of ~$19M per year… but that could be tail-ended (and with that 30% rule, I suspect it’d have to be).
So if it’s something like $12M in 2011, there could be money enough to sign Randy, and in 2014 it might be $25M… but Randy will be safely retired in 2014.

I'm not sure the 30% rule applies here
I thought that was only applied to deals for this year, but its been reported Brady’s new deal has been tacked onto his current contract, so he will play this year under his current number and next year will produce a big jump in numbers.
I thought the 30% rule attached to any contract negotiated under no-cap rules?
Which is why they created that crafty deal-on-top-of-deal series of extensions for… I forget. But it treated the extension like a series of new contracts, so they could bump it up 30% each consecutive year.

Maybe Mankins - Hell NO!!! Let him lose a season, get rusty and out of condition. He was offered a great (not phenominal, but great) deal and decided it wasn’t good enough. I never wish actual harm to a player (it’s still only a game), I hope he fattens up and sweats walking up a flight of stairs.
