Tom Brady Wants Patriots To Pay Up

Over the last few years we have seen a lot of high profile NFL stars move to other teams, that we would never think was possible. Brett Favre left the Packers to play for the Jets and Vikings; Donavan McNabb was recently traded from the Eagles to the Redskins.

Can you imagine if Tom Brady joins that list?

It could happen.

In a story from Yahoo sports, Brady, 33, is in the final year of a $60 million contract, and right now negotiations between his party and the Patriots has stalled. "there’s a growing sense of disconnect between the two camps,"(Yahoo).

"With the specter of a work stoppage following the 2010 season looming, Brady’s situation seems entwined with the uncertain labor landscape, to the point where he could be angling toward prospective free agency after a new collective bargaining agreement is reached," (Yahoo).

The new CBA has yet to be reached between the players union and the NFL, meaning that there is the threat of a work stoppage next March that could cancel the 2011 season. However, the two parties come to an agreement on player contracts, could play a big role in determining what a 34 year old Brady will make come 2011.

He probably will finish his career in New England, but never say never. We have seen it enough in the recent past -- maybe one day Brady will wear another uniform other than the Patriots.
