NFLPA Files Lawsuit Challenging Brady Suspension

As expected, the NFL Players’ Association has filed paperwork in a federal court in Minnesota challenging Tom Brady’s suspension.

The move comes as no surprise as it was widely reported that the NFLPA would fight the suspension in court if NFL commission Roger Goodell did not reduce Brady’s suspension on appeal.

The Patriots quarterback currently faces a four-game ban for his alleged role in the Deflategate saga. Brady has denied any wrongdoing in the matter.

Once the case goes to court, the NFLPA will ask the judge to make a ruling by Sept. 4 issue an injunction, which would place Brady’s suspension on hold and allow him to play during the ongoing case according to NESN.
