True, but salary structures have changed so dramatically for QBs that historical data doesn't mean much. Plus...there is some shady shit going on with Brady's contract. Lets be honest here. He isn't taking pay cuts out of the goodness of his heart. Dude has been made some serious handshake promises if you ask me.
