I still dont understand how the threat of a lawsuit, that according to legal experts Brady would win, is not leverage for a deal. It looks like this battle in court is basically over however, if brady agrees not to sue wouldnt that be worth knocking a few games off the suspension? if all the owners care about is money than why wouldnt the threat of 250 to 300 m be enough of a reason to deal. Granted, I dont want him to accept any sort of suspension but the reality is setting in that he will be sitting out.
