Brady Discusses Contract Situation

Sep 3, 2014 4:27 AM

Tom Brady is entering the final year of his contract and touched on his relationship with the team following practice on Friday. "I've always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I've always said is the best coach in the history of the league. And Mr. Kraft, I have a great relationship with him," Brady said. "I'm not into playing games. I just want to come out here and do the best I can do. You know, whether you make $1 playing, or you make millions of dollars like we do make, I just really enjoy playing quarterback for this team. I have since the day I stepped on the field. It's something I relish, and every year is an opportunity. "You don't get these opportunities back. I want to play for another 10 years hopefully. Each year is an opportunity for us to accomplish something pretty special. I don't want anything to ever get in the way of that." Brady is scheduled to earn $6.5 million this season, much less than quarterbacks of his caliber. "My personal feelings are my personal feelings, and certainly I don't want to express them with anybody other than very few people," he said when asked about his mood in negotiations. "It doesn't do any good. It really doesn't. It doesn't help this team. It doesn't help the organization. Really, it gets in the way to me."
