Robert Kraft: Patriots Will Not Appeal

wqam

Robert Kraft held a brief press conference today, confirming the New England Patriots will not appeal the NFL's penalties handed down in relation to Tom Brady and Deflategate -- the four-game suspension levied to Brady, the $1 million fine, and the revoking of two draft picks.

"At no time should the agenda of one team outweigh the collective good of the full 32," Kraft said. "I don't want to continue the rhetoric that has gone on the last four months.

"I'm going to accept, reluctantly."

This doesn't mean Tom Brady will follow suit and withdraw his appeal with the NFLPA, just that the Patriots will not resort to legal action as an organization.
