Brady has never played out the final season of a contract during his 20 seasons in the NFL. The Globe’s Ben Volin wrote Wednesday that Brady’s $27 million cap number was the fourth-highest in the NFL, but could “easily be remedied” by converting most of that money into a signing bonus and adding years to Brady’s contract.
