The New England Patriots have agreed to a two-year extension with Tom Brady.
Brady will make $23 million in 2019 instead of the $15 million he was previously scheduled to earn.
Brady will be just the sixth highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
When asked about the possibility of an extension on Wednesday, Brady brushed off the notion that he deserved one.
\"I appreciate this team and the opportunity it gave me in 2000,\" Brady said. \"I play for a great coach in Coach [Bill] Belichick, and [offensive coordinator] Josh [McDaniels] and I have a great working relationship. I love Mr. [Robert] Kraft and his family. We\'ve had just incredible success. Hopefully we can keep it going.\"
