Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio was asked what Giants quarterback Eli Manning?s six-year, $97 million contract extension with $35 million guaranteed means for Tom Brady, who has two years left on his deal and will carry a salary cap charge of $14.626 million this season. ?Everybody knows what Tom has meant to this organization and this team,?? said Caserio. ?What the Giants are doing, that is their responsibility. Sure, there is a market out there, but in the end we have to make the decisions that we feel are best for us. ?When the appropriate time comes to do that, hopefully we?ll do that."
