New contract protects Brady from suspension

Tom Brady recently signed a two-year extension with the New England Patriots that will keep him under contract until 2019, when he turns 42.

The contract, via terms reported by CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, will also protect him in the event he is suspended by the NFL for Deflategate.

Brady previously had a base salary of $9 million for 2016 but now, per La Canfora, will have just a $1 million salary for this coming season. The court system is still dealing with the NFL's appeal of Brady's previous victory.
