Patriots agree to short-term extension with Tom Brady
Apparently, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft insinuated what Tom Brady wouldn’t say out loud last week about his contract.
Filed to ESPN: the Patriots and QB Tom Brady are close to finalizing an agreement on a contract extension, per league source. Should be done soon.

Field Yates of ESPN reported Sunday that Brady and the Patriots “are close to finalizing an agreement on a contract extension,†noting it “should be done soon.â€
Minutes later, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the contract was agreed to by both parties.
The #Patriots and QB Tom Brady have agreed to terms on a contract extension, source said. No details yet, but sounds like it’s a short term deal, as you’d expect.

Despite reports indicating the Patriots might have been balking at the notion of extending a soon-to-be 42-year-old quarterback, this is in no way surprising.
The bottom line is that the Patriots are only atop the NFL’s mountain because of Brady, and head coach Bill Belichick. As long as these two are working together, a Super Bowl is always within reach.
