That could save Brady almost $2 million in lost salary during a four-game suspension.
This shows he knew he was guilty.
Or it shows that they read the tea leaves like everyone else after the hearing and determined Berman was off the reservation. Checkers, meet chess.
Don't get too excited there, Brady jock-sniffer. The salary reduction is clearly a subterfuge to avoid this penalty. I could see the league disputing the reduction and seeking to enforce the award using the contract numbers in effect at the time of the arbitration decision. Otherwise, everybody will start doing this and the league's disciplinary system will fall apart.
Yeah, no its not. I just said that to get some righteous indignation out of a Philly fan. They did it for the same reason they traded Chandler Jones and the league won't do fuck all about it because it happens all the time. He's only making $1 million the year after, as well.
