"How will Tom Brady's contract situation affect the team?

The labor climate; Peyton Manning's negotiations; Brady's $3.5 million salary for 2010.

Last summer, Eli Manning and Philip Rivers got deals with nearly $40 million guaranteed, and so it stands to reason that Brady and the elder Manning brother could demand somewhere between $40 million and $50 million in guaranteed dollars on new long-term deals."
