The Facts:
Brady addressed his future with the Patriots as he enters the final year of his contract, while also touching on his relationship with the franchise, which some have speculated is strained. "I'm not into playing games," he said. "I just want to come out here and do the best I can do. You know, whether you make $1 playing, or you make millions of dollars like we do make, I just really enjoy playing QB for this team. I have since the day I stepped on the field. It's something I relish, and every year is an opportunity."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Brady also said it's been a privilege to play for "the best coach in the history of the league," Bill Belichick. The QB also spoke highly of his relationship with owner Robert Kraft. ... Still, Brady is scheduled to earn $6.5 million this season, which is below market-value for a player of his caliber and some have speculated that Brady's relationship with the team has been strained because the sides have not struck a contract extension. Brady was asked to describe his mood as it relates to his contract, but he deflected the question. "My personal feelings are my personal feelings, and certainly I don't want to express them with anybody other than very few people," he said. Brady didn't think that his contract situation would become a distraction. We don't either. The two sides will get something worked out in due time. And Brady will continue to play like Brady.
