I guess we all know about the deal. All the talk radio says other players should be pissed. I can see why agents for the big QBs (as well as the big QBs themselves) might not be thrilled ...
... but shouldn't the more rank-and-file types like this - especially a few guys the Pats go after who might've wound up on some crappy team for less money?

Brady's old deal would have paid him $30M over the next two years, now that he has signed a three-year, $27 million extension, his base salary will be $1M in 2013, and $2M in 2014. The $27M comes into play in 2015 and beyond but they paid him $30M to sign the deal, so he got a extra $3M over the next two years to help the team lower his cap number.
I'm not sure why this would piss other players off. |

He made two years pay (based on when he was on the "top paid" QB list) just to sign a deal that will give him another $3M over the same two years 
Here's another question... if he is earning $3M more than when he was on that list... Why isn't he still on the list?
Or
How many years does Brady have left? I'd say right around TWO |

IMO Brady's deal is a good deal for himself and the team - he's not being 'greedy' and it allows the franchise a little more financial room
I'm not a Pats fan - I like to see players get paid well AND allow the team to not be strapped |

Same here ... and look what Faccid just got:
Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a six-year, $120.6 million contract that makes the quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history, a source familiar with the deal told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
