Report: Tom Brady collects on huge incentive in Bucs contract with NFC title win originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Tom Brady earned himself a nice chunk of change with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' win over the Green Bay Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Lambeau Field.
When the 43-year-old quarterback chose to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in NFL free agency last March, he signed a two-year contract that included $50 million guaranteed.
The deal also reportedly included another $9 million in incentives.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Brady has earned $1.75 million in incentives through three playoff games, including $500,000 for helping the Buccaneers win the NFC title on Sunday.

Schefter wrote in a story published Sunday that Brady already earned "$1.25 million in incentives during Tampa Bay's postseason run -- $500,000 for making it to the playoffs, $250,000 for the Bucs' wild-card win at Washington, and another $500,000 for last Sunday's divisional playoff win against the New Orleans Saints, according to the source."
Brady will get another $500,000 if the Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV, per Schefter. The big game will be played Sunday, Feb. 7 in the Bucs' home venue of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers' opponent in Super Bowl LV is defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Tampa Bay lost 27-24 to the Chiefs at home in Week 12.
