Could Tom Brady still be on the field week 1? You bet he can
Tom Brady was slammed yesterday by Roger Goodell, but could Tom Brady still be on the playing field come week one? You better believe it.
Brady is not going to back down. The NFLPA already announced it will appeal the decision and there are even reports that Brady’s camp will be filed Wednesday in Minnesota.
The first step Brady needs to take is seek an injunction that would allow Brady to remain on the field while the legal case plays out. If the injunction is received, Brady’s team can then either attempt to fast track the federal court case or operate in a more deliberate manner that would allow Brady to play through the season without the case being decided.
Which basically means, Brady could play out the season and then next year the case would be dealt with in court. That is pretty crazy considering everyone is upset about the decision.
Brady will have a good chance to fight his court. Roger Goodell was the decision maker in every case even the appeals process. Which means Brady could say he did not have a right to a fair trail. If the Judge grants an injunction, Brady will be the starter week 1 and Goodell cannot do anything about it.
