    @SI_PeterKing
    Tom Brady signs a contract that should make him a Patriot for life. Will have full details to you very shortly.


    Great move by Brady. Patriots can now spend even more money to help improve the team.

      3 year $27m extension.

      Joe Flacco says 'guys, lets pretend Brady didn't just sign that deal and look at what the rest of the quarterbacks make instead, OK'

        Do not let it ever be said Brady does not care about winning. Should open things up for a Welker extension.

          If that's the reason, Brady should be honoured as a unselfish players IMO. We mostly all know he did this because Welker is a key player when he's not dropping the ball. Anyway, Gisele just did a $33.5 million photoshops so that should make for lost revenue.

            Good for Brady, he can afford to take the cut. Well I mean they all could afford to take a pay cut, but as mentioned Gisele kind of makes bank.

                There's probably a small percentage of players currently in the league that this statement would apply to.

                    On their current spending habits? Yeah, but i'm fairly sure even the 7th round draft pick can survive on $300k

                      I wouldn't do it, but I'm not him. More power to you Brady. I just hope the Patriots actually spend the money they saved on players to help him. Of note, He took a hometown discount in 05 and it didn't result in any rings.

                      Edit: I just read on Twitter that the entire deal is guaranteed. That's HUGE and changes a lot about how I perceive it.

                        The way Athletes have run thru their money so fast(especially in this economic climate)I wouldn't even hold my breath on that.

                          I think Tom is getting the better end of that deal. Guaranteed money at age 40. Yes please. Probably realizes he wont be 5 star forever.

                            Good move by Brady to take the pay cut. It's not like he needs the money and he'll still be earning a lot, but if he kept his current deal and hit FA in two years, he'd get way more than 3 years $27M

                            I'm guessing the money freed up will be spent on Wes Welker. Earlier today there were reports that said the Pats could sign Welker at around $8M per year, then Brady signs a new deal that frees up $8M in cap space.

                                Brady and the Patriots also helped out the Ravens:

                                By helping themselves create space under the salary cap, the Patriots also helped one of their most bitter rivals. A little.
                                The new contract signed by quarterback Tom Brady will help make it cheaper for the Ravens to apply the exclusive level of the franchise tag to quarterback Joe Flacco.
                                If the Ravens go exclusive with Flacco, his franchise tender will be determined by taking the average of the five highest 2013 quarterback cap numbers at the time the tag is used. Before Monday, the five were: $21.55 million for Brady; $20.82 million for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford; $20.35 million for Giants quarterback Eli Manning; $20 million for Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning; and $19.6 million for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
                                Brady has gone from No. 1 to off the list, which (as Albert Breer of NFL Network pointed out recently) nudges Saints quarterback Drew Brees from the on-deck circle with his cap number of $17.4 million.
                                Previously, the exclusive tag would have cost the Ravens $20.464 million under the cap for 2013. With Brady replaced by Brees, the number falls to $19.634. That’s a savings of more than $800,000.
                                Of course, it likely won’t matter, since the Ravens seem to be poised to apply the non-exclusive franchise tag and to hope Flacco will give them a chance to match any offers made before an offer sheet is signed. Still, if a few more of those big-ticket quarterback cap numbers fall from the top five, there’s a point at which the Ravens could opt for certainty — especially since Flacco’s cap number would remain the non-exclusive number of $14.6 million through April 19, giving them extra time to clear sufficient cap space.
                                So, basically, the Pats did the Ravens an $800,000 favor by not waiting a week to do the deal with Brady.
