The New England Patriots have signed quarterback Tom Brady to a six-year extension worth $60 million, a deal that for the first time brings the two-time Super Bowl MVP's salary in line with his accomplishments.
The extension was reported by ESPN and confirmed to The Associated Press on Saturday night by a football source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
``It's fantastic for the organization, for the city and for the team,'' Brady's backup, Doug Flutie, said while attending the Boston Celtics' playoff game. ``I'd love to see him play his entire career here.''
