[Patriots] Roster Bonus Could Affect Patriots QB Tom Brady's Contract Talks

With quarterback Tom Brady entering the final year of his contract with the New England Patriots, the sides are expected to negotiate an extension that will likely make him one of the highest paid players in the NFL. The presence of a $3 million roster bonus could potentially take negotiations to a higher level. Brady's new deal could be anywhere from $15-18 million per season, and possibly higher, so it's difficult to gauge how much a $3 million roster bonus could factor into the pace of negotiations, but it is one factor that could come into play with Brady's contract situation.
