brady is making 28 mill this season. He just converts salary to bonus and extends his contract. It creates cap issues down the road, but he keeps doing it and will do it till he retires, so there wont be the cap hell to pay. The saints could have done the same to brees, but decided not to. Romo has been doing this for years as well.
Brees could be playing for 1mill and the saints organization would still screw it up. Case in point is the 41+ mill in dead money from bad deals on guys that didnt perform and got cut. You dont build championship teams through FA, you build through the draft. Very rarely do you see a team add high dollar FAs and succeed.
