His base salaries in 2016 and 2017 are $1 million, and $14 million in 2018 and 2019. His base salaries next year and in 2017 free up $1 million and $2 million in cap room respectively, making his contract one of the biggest bargains in the NFL.

He'll count $14 million against the cap in 2016 and 2017, and $22 million in 2018 and 2019. However, it's unlikely that $22 million cap hit ever materializes. Brady has been known to renegotiate his contract every couple of years, and he's always been about saving the Patriots money however he can.
