Putting that much money into your qb really puts you in a bind as far as getting other quality pieces. Brady has always taken less so that the Pats could put pieces around him. Don’t like the guy but he puts team before him

Brady is not even in the top 10.  Ironically, of the ten highest paid qbs last year, only two even made the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure Kraft is sliding Brady the rest of the money under the table so it doesnt go towards their cap

It’ll eventually happen, but to date no team has won a SB with a starting QB making $20,000,000 (or higher) per season.

Tom Brady realizes he’ll never spend all the money he’s earned in the NFL. He seems more concerned with his legacy than breaking the bank with a record contract deal. He knows QB’s are ultimately (rightly or wrongly) judged by world championships. He’s taken below market deals and it’s resulted in 8 SB appearances and 5 rings. I don’t think he’ll retire upset about his decision.

At some point the QB bubble is going to have to burst. Of the final four teams in the playoffs, only one had what would be considered a traditional "franchise QB". One was playing what most consider to be a 1st round bust (Bortles), and two were playing career backups/borderline starters. At some point teams have to start thinking in terms of letting QBs walk unless they're truly elite. Let some other team pay the guy stupid money. Use that cap space to build a helluva D and put talent around the QB you're getting ready to draft to prop him up.

I do this in Madden all the time. Cam wanted some absurd contract as an 87 overall QB. You gone, son.

 

Much much harder to do this in real life though.

The amount you can make in the NFL doesn't even compare to the amount you can make after you retire from endorsements if you've won multiple championships as a star.

Al Davis dies and the 49ers are like hold my beer.

Looking at this from Jimmy's perspective man...you are 26 and get traded as a backup...and 5 games later the highest paid dude ever.  Lotto!

It wouldn't be a bad idea. They could trade the #33 overall pick for Foles and still have #1, #4, #35, #60, and #65 in the first three rounds. Take say Saquon Barkley and Minkah Fitzpatrick at 1 and 4?

Yeah, I'd do that. I'd do that in a heartbeat. 

Thats a pretty good looking roster then. In a division that is trending in the wrong direction.

And Cam will want $500 million when his time comes

sigh....nothing against cam but damn he is going to want a big contract...

[Thanatos]

Just so yall are aware, this contract is incredibly front loaded with guaranteed money. The Niners can cut him next offseason and save money.

2019 cap hit- 4.2 million.

[JARROD]

They had 100 million to spend,..

btw, how the hell do teams do that? There’s like 10 teams with more than 70 million to spend?

his contract is almost like a weird version of Kapernicks contract, can easily cut him and not hurt them in later years.

obviously if they are right and the 49ers return to prominence because of the move then they were right.

We will see with the Seahawks starting over, Rams on their 2nd year- will they come back strong or has everyone figured them out? Then there’s Arizona that’s could find a good quarterback and be right back in the mix too. Going to be a tough division like the South.
