Brady previously signed a $ 50 million two-year contract with the Bucs during the offseason after 20 years in New England. Reports at the time indicated that the Patriots were not willing to give Brady the money he asked for to stay.
Since Brady joined Tampa, he has already earned $ 1.25 million in incentives in the post-season alone, reports ESPN. He earned $ 500,000 for the playoffs, $ 250,000 for the game card win over Washington and another $ 500,000 for advancing to the NFC Championship after beating Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints in the division round.
