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.

You're reaching, and badly.
As pointed out earlier, BB thought Brady was better than Bledsoe before the season ever started. Don't think for a second that didn't play into the flexibility in the extension.
Hell, it could be argued that it was an extension in name only, as the numbers prove he wasn't tied to the Patriots long-term.
