How is this possible (Tom Brady's salary)

Recommended Posts

I know this has probably been talked about before but just seeing those numbers makes its hard to believe.   

 

CSN New England's Tom Curran gets the sense the Patriots may have to eventually force Tom Brady's hand and make him retire or trade him.

Brady's deal runs through 2019 at cheap salaries of $1 million in 2017 and $14 million in 2018-19. While Brady continues to be the best player in the sport, the Patriots continue to sit on Jimmy Garoppolo, refusing to trade him as it seems they're preparing for him to eventually replace Brady. But as Curran puts it, "the quarterback position in New England will have to be pried from [Brady's] cold, dead hand." Brady has said he has zero plans to retire anytime soon, while his father said a couple years back that Brady would play until he's 70. That would put the ball in the Patriots' court. If it happens, it will surely be messy. Coach Bill Belichick may be the only one with the stones to do it.

Yea because his buddy, the fitness guru of the team, is also his business partner. The Pats pay him an undisclosed amount. Probably a fortune. Brady gets a percentage of that. So he makes a mere 1m in 2017 as qb and who knows how many more millions as the gurus partner. 

We should pay adams league minimum, but allow his company to cater food. Pay the food catering 20m a year and let adams get his cut. 

A way to go around salary cap rules. Its probably the biggest sham the pats were ever involved in and nobody questions it

They cheat on everything else why would anyone be surprised they would cheat in this way as well to free up more room to sign players. This organization continues to make a mockery of the NFL and the ass hat NFL lets them do it.

Probably also paying Garapolo under the table to be patient and not leave.

Out of all the cheating the Brady / pay scam is the worst and probably has had the most direct impact on winning SBs.

Look at Manning  / Colts as an example. Unlike New England Mannings salary sucked up the teams resources for years.

1 million in 2017 what a joke.

A citrullo like Fitzpatrick will make more than that on interest from his Jets money while staying home with the wife and kids.

Everybody knows they're circumventing the salary cap by paying Brady's company for his nutrition programs or whatever.  It's as public as day and nobody cares because the NFL is a ******* joke. 

The Cheatriots have ruined the NFL.

100%, no question about it.  They're not playing on a level playing field as the rest of the league.  And the NFL knows it and doesnt care.  

Tainted dynasty that nobody but Cheatriots fans will ever call legitimate.

The reason his salary is so low this year is because the Patriots paid him a $28 million bonus last season. They have done some funny things with his contract, but this current deal, considering his age, is pretty legit.

He has $13,000,000 in signing bonus proration that hits the cap this year (so his total cap number is 14M), and 7M in each of 18 and 19 (taking his total cap number to 22M in each of those years).  https://overthecap.com/player/tom-brady/1250

He definitely gave the Pats a hometown discount, but the reason his P5 salary is so low is that he got a way larger percentage of his money than usual up front in the form of a signing bonus.

In 2016, he signed a 2 year extension with 41M in new money over the 4 years of the deal - 11M more in 2016 and 17, and 30M in 2018 and 19.  Brady had already been  under contract for 16 & 17 at 19M total, so net-net, the Pats paid him 20.5M per year for his two new years, and allocated a chunk of that money to 16 & 17 to keep the cap hits relatively low over all 4 years (the two years left on his prior deal and the 2 new years).  They also kept his P5 salary super low in 16 and 17 so that he would lose very little in per game salary if (when) he had to serve a suspension.  20.5M in new money per year for 2 new years is a real discount, but not a crazy one.

So how did they have Brady at 19M in 16 & 17 in the first place? That's the real sweetheart deal that Brady gave the Pats, taking a major discount against market value to free up cash & cap for other players.  But this latest deal?  Not much of a discount at all.

or.....  The Pats work out a clandestine deal and Brady gets endorsement revenue from so called independent companies.

 

Ever note that Eli is NEVER in a Giants uniform, just blue and white colors in uniform.  Brady gets to wear the uniform, keep the endorsement dollars.

Pats buy those products for the team....  balls, hats, razors, tampons etc.

He is getting lawd knows how much for his supplement company that he put his friends name on that is in or next to the building plus whatever stacks of cash Kraft gives him, tax free.  Great story about Artie Lange doing a gig for Kraft.

Not a chance. Belichick is only still coaching because he wants to prove he can win without Brady and its not like the Patriots would ever fire him. So he will continue until he gets that chance.

They pay him through his vitamin company. It is a flagrant violation of the salary cap but nobody seems to care. I think the NFL got sick of fighting with one of its highest profile stars.

I can't help wondering how the Saints -- who probably pay Drew Brees 25 mil a year on the salary cap -- feel about this.

What do you think Deflategate was really about?

The league had a chance to look like they were finally getting tough on those scumbags. They certainly had no plans to go after the salary cap stuff because of the huge implications on the competitve balance of the league. Deflated balls were a thing that they knew wouldnt seem like a big deal to anyone (except for these egomanics like Brady and Kraft who laid lie upon lie in an attempt to maintain their unrealistic view of their public perception amd blew it all out of proportion).

Pure "look over here" distraction.

I've been frustrated by this fact.  No way Brady isn't getting paid outside the salary cap.  If someone was able to track the money Brady is getting it would lead to some seriously illegal violations to the NFL cap rules.  By not officially paying Brady through the cap, they are illegally stacking their team with talent other teams that follow the rules can't.  The commissioner must know this but either can't prove it or doesn't want the bad press.  What amazes me is that other owners aren't in uproar.

By Bob Hohler G LOBE STAFF DECEMBER 20, 2015

The Patriots, in an unusual departure from National Football League practice, have created a revenue stream for a private business owned by their franchise quarterback, Tom Brady, and a partner who faced federal sanctions after falsely presenting himself as a medical doctor and deceptively promoting nutritional supplements. One notable product that Brady’s partner, Alejandro “Alex” Guerrero, promoted — and the quarterback enthusiastically endorsed — was marketed as helping to prevent and heal concussions, a grave health issue for NFL players and a challenge to the sport’s image. The Federal Trade Commission effectively shut down sales of Guerrero’s “neuroprotective’’ drink, Neurosafe, in 2014, repudiating his “extraordinary claims.’’ Nine years earlier, the FTC sanctioned Guerrero, who doubles as a fitness specialist, for marketing a beverage made largely of organic greens that he falsely claimed could help prevent or cure cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Guerrero’s past has not dissuaded the Patriots from forging a business relationship with the company he owns with Brady, the TB12 Sports Therapy Center, at the Patriots Place complex adjacent to Gillette Stadium. Since the center opened in 2013, the team has paid the company for Guerrero and his staff to provide treatment services and nutritional advice to multiple Patriots players. The Globe did not determine how many players Guerrero and his staff have treated or how much money the Patriots have paid Brady and Guerrero’s company. The team and the two principals all declined to comment. The NFL says it is aware of the arrangement and has taken no action, despite questions from some specialists in sports law and economics about whether teams should pay for services by forprofit companies owned by their active players and whether the relationship provides value to Brady that should be counted against the club’s salary cap.

Im sure the deal is legit but its still low for what Brady has accomplished so I'm sure in some way Kraft is getting money to Tom and Im sure Tom is quite happy with that arrangement since the team can use the money for more players when needed. How does a team thats in the SB every year keep salaries so low ? Smoke and Mirrors that how

It's not even worth talking about.  The Pats will win in the court of public opinion as well as private NFL circles.  I'm getting more turned off to the league every day.

Public opinion outside of NE knows they are full of $h*t cheating c*cks*ckers !
