Deflategate continues to be one of the most ridiculous issues the NFL has ever seen, months after accusations were first leveled against Tom Brady and Co. After yesterday’s Wells report indicated that Brady likely knew about the deflating of football’s, The Miami Herald is reporting that the NFL is weighing every and any option in regards to Brady’s punishment, should they decide to disciplnie the QB.
The small tidbit of news I can offer is that the NFL is weighing a suspension of New England quarterback Tom Brady that could span up to one season. “Everything is being studied, everything is being considered,” an NFL source with knowledge of the disciplinary procedure told me Wednesday night.
The source said it would be wrong to think a season-long suspension will absolutely be the punishment doled out because that decision had not been finalized at the time of our conversation. But he also said it would be wrong to dismiss such an extended and seemingly improbable length of time as the ceiling for discipline.
A year-long suspension for Brady sounds a bit extreme, but apparently is something the NFL will consider. It will be very interesting to see what the league decides to do with Brady in this situation.
