Tom Brady Contract Extended For Two Years

Tom Brady Contract Extended For Two Years - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2019 on Feb. 29, but the value of that deal wasn’t known until Thursday morning.

It turns out that Brady will get $41 million over two years, with a massive $28 million signing bonus. ESPN first reported the value of the deal, and FS1’s Mike Garafolo has confirmed it.

Before the extension, Brady had two years left on a contract that would have paid him $9 million in 2016 and $10 million in 2017. His base salary in both 2016 and 2017 is now $1 million, according to Garafolo, but he’ll be doing just fine with that $28 million signing bonus. He'll then make $15 million in both 2018 and 2019.
