NFLPA adds high-profile attorney to Brady team

The NFL Players Association has added high-profile attorney Theodore B. Olson to its legal team defending New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, a move that reflects how Brady continues to explore all options in continuing his legal fight against the NFL.

In addition, attorneys for the NFLPA and Brady asked Friday for another two weeks to decide whether they'll request the entire 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hear the case. A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 to restore Brady's suspension, and he and his union are now considering whether to ask for an en banc rehearing.
