Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady offered offensive lineman $1,000 in cash for each successful screen play of 15 yards or more, according to former teammate Ali Marpet.

Marpet played with Brady for two seasons, the quarterback's first two with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including winning the Super Bowl in 2021.

Marpet did not clarify when the proposal from Brady was on the table, or whether he had offered similar deals to teammates throughout his lengthy career.

The reported motivation from Brady to those blocking for him and the Tampa Bay offense was because the team was 'abysmal' at screen plays.

Screen plays are typically deployed to give a running back or fast wide receiver space
