For his 42nd birthday, Tom Brady received a special gift from the New England Patriots: a long-awaited contract extension.
The future Hall of Fame quarterback agreed to terms on a contract extension with New England on Sunday, a source told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The deal is expected to be a short-term contract, as expected for a player of Brady's age.
Brady was set to enter the final season of a two-year restructured deal before he struck an extension with the Pats this weekend. Before the new contract was agreed to, Brady was scheduled to make $14 million in base salary and carry a $27 million cap hit in 2019.
