It's very simple. Assuming this ends up in court and not just Roger's court. Kraft becomes a credible witness for the defense. It opens up a line of questioning as to whether the NFL operated in good faith. If Kraft says "no", then his acceptance of guilt comes into question and he hurts his credibility as a witness to Brady. If he says "yes", then he supports the NFL's notion of operating in good faith.
It certainly is important in a court of law how he handles his end of the issue and it 100% affects Brady's ability to defend himself in court.
I understand it sucks that Kraft rolled over. Now tell me, did he comment on guilt or innocence in the press conference? Didn't catch it all but I believe I heard something to the effect that we believe we did not act improperly.
If memory is correct and he did say that, yea that would be a real awesome move for the NFL lawyers to call Kraft as their witness to have him restate his "I believe we did nothing wrong (so, by extension, the QB did not wrong)". At that point whatever the NFL is paying its legal team is probably too much.
