Patriots Revise Brady’s Contract, Add $5 Million in Incentives
Saturday, August 11, 2018
The New England Patriots revised quarterback Tom Brady’s contract by adding five $1 million incentives in five different categories.
Each incentive increases to $2 million if the Patriots win Super Bowl 53, however, the incentives are capped at $5 million.
“So he can get to $5 million two ways. Either hit all five incentives or hit three of them and win the Super Bowl,” said Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated on Twitter.

- Top 5 in Completion %
- Top 5 in Yards/Attempt
- Top 5 in TD Passes
- Top 5 in Passing Yards
Entering this season, Brady’s base salary is $14 million with a roster bonus of $1 million. If he achieves the five incentives, his pay for the season would be $20 million.
The $20 million would make Brady the 10th highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
