Report: Brady won't give Patriots hometown discount

If Tom Brady returns to the New England Patriots, he does not want to sign a hometown discount with the team as he's done in the past, reports FOX Sports' Jay Glazer.

Though Brady is considered one of - if not - the greatest players to ever play in the NFL, he's seldom been paid as such.

He signed a four-year, $72-million extension in 2010 then restructured his salary in 2012 to clear cap room for the team. He signed a restructured $27-million extension in 2013, then inked a two-year, $41-million extension in 2016. Finally, the star quarterback was given a restructured $30-million deal in 2018 then signed a one-year, $23-million contract in 2019.

Brady will become a free agent at the end of the league year and is not eligible to be franchise tagged. After concluding his 20th season at the age of 42, the pivot is looking at what will likely be his last big NFL deal.

Glazer said the Patriots remain the most likely fit for Brady.

"But then it comes down to money," he added.
