Brady wants a judge to issue him an injunction so he can play while the courts hear his case. It is a smart legal move especially if a ruling wouldn’t come until after the season.
This would allow Brady to play the full season worry free and then hope at some point he wins the case or the NFL drops the suspension.
Tom Brady has authorized the NFLPA to appeal his case in federal court, per source.
