He reduced his 2007 salary to $3 million ($500,000 bonus for being on the roster for the first game and a $2.5 million base salary), plus an additional $2 million in performance-based incentives.
In three years - he's performed well for them. A 16-0 regular season where he broke a slew of NFL records in year 1. An 11-5 season despite Tom Brady getting hurt in the first quarter of week 1 in year 2. An explosive offense with Matt Cassell. Year 3 he led the NFL in touchdown catches yet again despite playing through reported back injuries early in the season and with a seperated shoulder late in the season.
He's very bitter that his past financial gestures to the Patriots benefit - and his production for them since he got there isn't being rewarded.
