Tom Brady has time and time again taken team friendly contracts to stay with the Patriots. The five rings say it’s worked out pretty well for both parties.
Adam Schefter reported on Thursday that the Patriots are working on a new deal that would pay Brady closer to what the top QBs make. The new deal is expected to be heavily incentive based.
Patriots expected to make adjustments to Tom Brady’s contract, per source. Brady is scheduled to make $15 million – a bargain – and they will be adding a variety of performance-based incentives to bring him to closer to market – like what Pats did last year with TE Rob Gronkowski

Patriots and Tom Brady expected to officially add those performance-based incentives to his contract in the next 24 hours, per source. But Brady will have chance to bring his contract more in line with other QBs.

Those rumors that Brady wasn’t happy with the contract Jimmy Garoppolo landed in San Francisco must be true. Why else does a deal need to be done now?
It could also be Brady’s last shot to cash out before retirement. Which could be coming sooner than previously thought.
