Tom Brady was offered a 50 % reduction if he admitted he cheated
Tom Brady damaged his cell phone and was not willing to admit he cheated. According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the NFL and Roger Goodell offered to cut the suspension in half if he admitted he was guilty.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL was willing to drop the suspension by “at least 50 percent” if Brady: (1) admitted to having knowledge of whatever John Jastremski and Jim McNally were doing to the footballs; (2) admitted to failing to cooperate with the Ted Wells investigation; and (3) apologized.
I can’t see how Brady will beat this case, but who knows what happens when it gets in front of a judge.
