Tom Brady got his new deal with the New England Patriots, but by now you know it doesn’t come with much long-term security.
Following the conclusion of the upcoming season, the remaining years on Brady’s new deal will void, technically making him a free agent. Nevertheless, he gets a nice (and very much deserved) pay bump for the 2019 season, even if his base salary technically is lower than last season.

Given what Brady brings to the Patriots, this deal still is a relative bargain. They’ll have to hit the negotiating table again soon, but for now, Brady can just focus on football.
