[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 718972"] Brady is a unique case among elite players. If you look back at what he's been paid over the years, he's consistently taken one (or more like a dozen) for the team. Woefully underpaid by league standards year after year. Consider his cash take home in 2016 was $1 mil. It will be $1 mil again in 2017. When you consider that a player's cap is eventually converted to all cash so long as the guy is not cut, consider Brady's cap hit from 2011 through 2017 has never exceeded $14.8 mil, and the cash pay in 2018 and 2019 is $15 mil per year with $22 mil cap hit in each of those years. Why? Maybe he likes rings more than the extra money. Or maybe he knows Belichick has a habit of dumping superstars like hot potatoes when they get a little too expensive and he'd prefer building a legacy with NE over a decline somewhere else. Belichick went 3-1 with Jimmy G. and is still hanging on to him, which might also be a kind of message. Or maybe with Giselle's money along with his, he doesn't figure then could ever spend more than that. Whatever the reasons, when it comes to pay Brady is sui generis. [/QUOTE]
