Don’t buy for a second Robert Kraft’s announcement today in San Francisco that the Patriots will not appeal their Deflategate sanctions isn’t connected with quarterback Tom Brady’s current four-game suspension.
The Patriots waved the figurative white flag, accepting the loss of first- (2016) and fourth-round picks (2017) and paying a record $1 million fine.
And as a result, Jaguars fans should expect to see Brady when the good guys face the Patriots in Week 3.
(Doesn’t it stink when somebody takes the high road? A Kraft-Roger Goodell feud would have been fascinating to watch.)
Brady’s case is separate, which the NFLPA took about 3.
