I think August 12 will be the key to this entire process.
This will be Brady and the NFL sitting in front of the judge who will decide the case explaining what they are willing to settle for and why. The judge's response will probably be a dead give away to where he is leaning after reading the initial filings, and more importantly how far he is leaning.
Brady has the simple view of insisted innocence.........it would not be reasonable for someone who is innocent to agree to any punishment, and it is not his job to save face for the league front office.
That said, he could waive his right to pursue other legal matters beyond the scope of the NFL rules themselves (defamation for example)
