Tom Brady knew this was coming

Tom Brady may act surprised over the court-ordered reinstatement of his four-game Deflategate suspension, but his financial planning says otherwise.

Months before Monday’s bombshell ruling, back in February, Brady agreed to a contract extension with the Patriots that paid him a comfy $28 million signing bonus and reduced his base salary in 2016 (and 2017) to just $1 million.

Why is that relevant? Because now, the multimillionaire quarterback — with the multimillionaire supermodel wife — stands to lose approximately $235,000 in salary. Before ripping up his previous contract, Brady was scheduled to make $9 million in salary, of which he would have forfeited north of $2 million in the event of the NFL getting his ban restored.

That’s $1.88 million in savings, without adjusting for inflation.
