Boston Sports: 5 athletes worthy of lifetime deals
By Sam Minton
Tom Brady
If anyone deserves a lifetime deal it is Tom Brady. He could ask for a billion dollar contract and I would be okay with it.
Brady’s idol is Joe Montana but hopefully he doesn’t follow his career path to a tee. Montana finished his career on the Kansas City Chiefs.
Brady has yet to sign an extension for next season. You would think this would be a priority for New England. The team has no immediate backup plan at the quarterback position.
It’s not like Brady is playing poorly either. He is still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Last season Brady threw for over 4,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. Not so bad for a 41-year-old.
Tom Brady needs to be a member of the New England Patriots for the rest of his career. The team needs to do all they can to keep him on the roster. Even if that means giving him a lifetime contract.
