Tom Brady is not going anywhere. The 43-year-old quarterback has extended his contract for another four years at Tampa Bay – according to U.S. reports. Brady was signed by the Buckniers for another season and now his new contract will be until 2025.
This move gives Tampa Bay $ 19 million below the salary cap and leaves it with the best quarterback of all time. As you may recall, last month Brady completed a seventh Super Bowl win and a fifth MVP title, both records that belonged to him even before the 9:31 win over Kansas City.

In fact right now the 43-year-old superstar has more Super Bowl wins than any other team in the league. If you compare it to all American disciplines, then only four more have seven championships and at least three career MVP titles: baseball legends Yogi Bra, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle and NBA legend Bill Russell.
By the way, he is overall the second quarterback in history to win the Super Bowl with two different teams, the first being Peyton Manning, who did so with Indianapolis and Denver.
And there are plenty of other records and landmarks, like the first player in the NFL with championships in three different decades and the only one in American sports to win championships with two different teams after the age of 40 (yes, someone checked that out). All this data was supposed to be enough for everyone else to hang up their shoes and helmet, but not for Brady.
