Tom Brady has given up his legal fight with the NFL over Deflategate and will accept the four-game suspension to start the 2016 season.

The New England Patriots quarterback posted the following statement on Facebook:

I'm very grateful for the overwhelming support I've received from Mr. Kraft, the Kraft family, coach Belichick, my coaches and teammates, the NFLPA, my agents, my loving family and most of all, our fans. It has been a challenging 18 months and I have made the difficult decision to no longer proceed with the legal process.
