No. 12 is in the last year of the six-year, $60 million extension/renegotiation he signed in 2005 and making sure he doesn't play out the final year of the deal should be priority No. 1 for the Patriots this off-season.
Manning to a seven-year, $99.7 million contract with $34.5 million in bonus money. Coincidentally, Manning's contract is also up after the 2010 season.
Brady's deal looks completely anachronistic in comparison to recent QB contracts.
With a year left on his deal, Peyton's brother, Eli Manning, received a seven-year, $106.9 million deal, which was actually a six-year, $97.5 million extension, last August. That same month Philip Rivers, who was entering the final year of his contract, signed a six-year, $92 million deal. The average annual value of Eli Manning's deal is $15.27 million. Rivers's deal is $15.3 million. A more pertinent number for Brady might be the $16.25 million value of the new six years of Eli Manning's deal.
Even Matt Cassel makes more than Brady now.
