Top QBs can expect a hike - The Boston Globe


Top QBs can expect a hike
Manning’s mega-deal will be boon for Brady
Eli Manning’s contract extension with the Giants, which will reportedly pay him $106.9 million over the next seven years, has a trickle-down effect here in New England.
Football Notes Top QBs can expect a hike
If Manning is worth an average of $15.2 million per season - making him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL - what might Tom Brady command?
It’s a question the Patriots and Brady don’t necessarily have to answer until the end of the 2010 season, when he would become an unrestricted free agent. Yet, based on the history between the sides, it’s a question that very well could be answered this year, because the Patriots have traditionally extended Brady with two years remaining.
Brady, who has sought a fair market deal in the past but has been willing to acquiesce some so top players could still be acquired, has never entered the final year of his contract without an extension."
