The "extension" was extremely Patriot-friendly, in the event they needed to, or wanted to trade him.
Drew Bledsoe was NEVER going to see anywhere near $103M.

I will not argue that the contract worked out in the end because Brady worked out but why give him that contract if you know Brady is going to be the guy?
According to the article big bonuses kicked in in year 2 of the contract a year before it was stated Brady was going to be the guy. Fortunately Bledsoe got hurt early.
It was smart ****ing work as far as contracts go but to say it was all done knowing Brady was going to be the man is pure hindsight BS.
What happened was Bledsoe got hurt, Brady won games and they realized they were sitting pretty.
