The New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is entering his final year of current contract with the Patriots and he is now expecting a good deal from the Patriots. If the Patriots consider he is worth it, Brady may become one of the highest paid players in the NFL.
Brady is due a $3 million roster bonus on March 5, the first official day of the 2010 league year. And the presence of a $3 million roster bonus could potentially take negotiations to a higher level as roster bonuses can create an added incentive for a team to strike a deal with a player. Instead of paying the roster bonus and then later striking a lucrative extension, there is sometimes a benefit for the team to get it all done at once from an overall cash standpoint.
Actually if Brady continues to play in Patriots jersey for the rest of his career, he will earn $15 million to 18 million or higher per season. Now the two sides just need to figure out where the new deal will be within the range and how the $3 million roster bonus works with Brady's contract situation.

59-0: Patriots’ historic win, Titans’ historic loss
The snowy Sunday is a New England Patriots day. Their historic 59-0 victory over the Tennessee Titans was the Titans’ worst game since they began playing in 1960 as the Houston Oilers, even worse than the 61-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in 1989.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had five TD passes in the second quarter, a record for one period and the six touchdown throws tied Brady’s own Patriots record. And the 59-point margin matched the largest since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970- the Los Angeles Rams’ 59-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons in 1976.
Winning their first 10 games last season, the Titans have yet to win their first game this season, and the 59-0 loss to the Patriots just recorded a new low in their winless season. The only bright spot for them was running back Chris Johnson wearing Titans jersey, who has been the NFL’s third leading rusher and run for 128 of the Titans’ total of 186 overall.
