Robert Kraft wants 'everyone who deserves to be on the field' in Week 1

FOXBORO - Robert Kraft addressed Tom Brady’s upcoming appeal of his four-game suspension today at an event honoring the Myra Kraft Community MVP Awards at Gillette Stadium

“We're part of the system, and we'll follow the rules,” Kraft said. “It's our hope that opening game here that we'll have the privilege of having everyone who deserves to be on the field starting that game. I know that's what our fans want, and that's what we want.”

Brady and attorney Jeffrey Kessler are scheduled to make their appeal of the ban stemming from the Wells Report findings on June 23 to Roger Goodell, who will hear the case himself in a move that was also controversial.
