"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." http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/extra_points/2010/07/10_questions_is.html
