So, that leaves me with five possible explanations.
He decided to eat the penalties for the team and bet that Goodell would blink when it came to upholding Brady's suspension since, unlike Kraft, Brady would have no constraints if it came to suing the League, including no financial constraints. Maybe he figured that the last thing Goodell wants is for anybody to force litigation and discovery and by removing the threat of an Appeal by the team, he felt he was leaving the door open for Goodell to say that the penalty to the team was enough and Brady was free to play on opening night. No "deal" was made, but Kraft calculated it that way. 15% chance.
%.
Interesting thoughts.
I know you assign this a low probability but it confounds me that the Wells report implicated Brady while clearing the team and the coach, yet the "penalty to the team was enough" WTF???
Lewis Carroll would have found this mind blowing.
