I thought that Brady was one of the guy's that normally gives money back to get other players needed, there are some out there that are willing to do that, thought Brady had been one too.

Bill would be the one to answer that one. :)

While I thought you were correct Jimbo, I honestly can't be sure what their cap situation is. :o

Generally speaking, baseball is the only sport that I keep up with on team payrolls. :)
 
Miguel's UNOFFICIAL 2008 Patriots Salary Cap Footnotes and Documentation Page

May 4, 2007 update According to Mike Reiss' blog - "The Patriots took Brady's $6 million base salary in 2007 and paid $5.28 million of it to Brady in the form of a signing bonus. That lowered Brady's base salary in 2007 to $720,000. By restructuring Brady's contract, the Patriots saved $3.96 million in cap space in 2007. As for the rest of the deal, Brady's base salary remained the same in 2008, at $5 million. His base salary increased to $5 million in 2009. He was previously scheduled to earn $2.3 million in base salary in 2009. Brady's base salary remained the same in 2010, at $3.5 million. Brady did not take a pay cut as part of the restructure."

I'd say that just about any player would allow his contract to be restructured as long as it didn't cost him any money.

Elsewhere, another cap junkie with nothing better to do with his time (is there any other kind?) has figured that Brady's cap figure for 2010 is $10,227,280, but a lot of that is from payments deferred through the prior restructurings and can't realistically be excised through renegotiation. Even if Brady were cut from the team, his cap hit would be $6,720,000 for 2010. I guess you have to actually trade a guy with that contract situation to accomplish anything significant as far as clearing cap space is concerned. If dumping Brady outright only gets you another $3.5 million in cap space, then it surely isn't worth doing.

So his contract was set up for him to NOT get a raise next year, most do.
That in itself is helping the team.
 
I can't remember a game so devoid of any defense. Its embarrassing really. They cant even tackle after the catch. And these are NFC playoff teams.

About an hour ago, I thought the game was a Big 12 game ..... I STILL feel that way.

Didn't they say the Packers D was number 1 in the league ?
 
If the Packers are smart they take their sweet time here (and score a TD of course), and then hope they win the coin flip!
