FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) It's back to the waiting game for Tom Brady.
After making his case in a 10-hour hearing, Brady's fate is in the hands of Roger Goodell. Just when the NFL commissioner will announce his decision to uphold, reduce or eliminate Brady's four-game suspension in ''Deflategate'' is uncertain.
More than three months later, the 243-page Wells report was issued, saying it was ''more probable than not'' that Brady was ''at least generally aware'' that footballs he used were improperly deflated by team personnel.
Goodell must decide ''as soon as practicable,'' according to the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
There are competing factors in any decision to sue to get the suspension eliminated. Brady hasn't been a vocal union supporter and prefers to minimize distractions. But with Kessler representing him and Brady's desire to clear his name, a lawsuit could be forthcoming. ''Jeff loves having a cause of action against the NFL,'' Ganis said.
