Brady signed in Ottawa because the contract they gave him takes him to UFA at age 27/28 and paid him 58M in guaranteed money for a player who at the time had a career high of 45 points..

Matthew is looking to maximize his earnings potential after what will very likely be his best statistical season. It's not a coincidence that the teams listed are tax free states, or his hometown.
