Not too shabby for the 14th highest rated quarterback in the NFL.

This contract is so bad it looks like Omar Minaya was negotiating it

Don't worry, it really isn't that much money when you remember that the federal government is confiscating the assets of its citizens and enslaving the workforce. There, doesn't that feel better?

He did win a superbowl but he did have big time help from both offensive and defensive lines. I am a patriot fan and who knows if Tom Brady will ever be like he was. Tom did win 3 and threw 50 TD's so he is up there with the greats but still, it could be over any game for any QB. The team should have paid 13 million per year for 3 or 4 years tops.
