New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has agreed to a two-year, $70 million contract extension, according to media reports.
Brady, a six-time Super Bowl champion and one of the best players the game has ever known, will also receive a hefty raise this season.
Under the new contract, Brady will receive an $8 million raise in 2019, bringing up his salary to a hefty $23 million. The extension also calls for him to earn $30 million in 2020 and $32 million in 2021 - when he will be 44.

"Have I earned [an extension]? I don't know," Brady told reporters, NFL.com reported. "That's up for talk show debate. What do you guys think? Should we take a poll?"
Brady, 42, led the Patriots to a 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. He is only one of four players to have won six NFL titles.
