A source close to Tom Brady tells CSN New England he is "beyond enraged" at the Patriots letting Wes Welker for two years and $12 million, and feels it is a "disgrace" and a "disservice."

As he should be. Brady didn't renegotiate his deal to free up $8.2 million in 2013 cap space so the Patriots could let his favorite target walk for less than what Brian Hartline is making. It's business as usual for the Pats, but Brady clearly thought his new deal would make for an exception with his slot machine. Brady has been "enraged" at Pats moves before, but the effects of this one could be long-lasting. New England's braintrust has some explaining to do.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft insists Tom Brady's new five-year, $57 million contract is a "real deal" the sides aren't already planning to renegotiate down the line.

Updating previous items, Tom Brady's new five-year contract is worth $57 million with $33 million fully guaranteed.

Brady will receive $30 million in signing bonus payments over the first three seasons. His base salaries in 2013 and 2014 are now $1 million and $2 million, respectively. The contract is essentially fully guaranteed through 2015, as in 2016 the money Brady is owed becomes guaranteed for injury only. It's possible that the Patriots could approach Brady about another restructure after that point. For now, they have the future Hall of Famer under control through 2017 at an incredibly team- and cap-friendly rate.

NFL Network's Albert Breer reports that Tom Brady will be owed just $60 million over the next five years.

The entire deal is guaranteed, but Brady won't be pulling in Peyton Manning ($19.2M annually) or Drew Brees ($20M) money. He'll collect a pedestrian $12 million per year, and the contract is locked in. Brady, indeed, took a major pay cut regardless of what you might read elsewhere. He's just barely a top-ten quarterback in terms of 2013 pay and by 2015 will fall deep into the teens.

Patriots signed QB Tom Brady to a three-year, $27 million extension through 2017.

Previously signed through 2014, Brady is now under contract until age 40 and will likely retire a Patriot. As explained by SI's Peter King, Brady's deal will pay him "significantly less than the market will bear," in an effort to ensure the Patriots stay competitive throughout the contract's life. Brady received an immediate signing bonus of $3 million, but the new deal gives New England "massive cap relief" by reducing Brady's 2013 and 2014 salary cap numbers, freeing up $15 million over those two seasons. The Patriots should be active in free agency thanks to Brady. His 2013 cap number is now just $13.8 million.
