According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the New England Patriots QB could receive a suspension that spans up to one year. An NFL source close to Salguero went on record to say “”Everything is being studied, everything is being considered[.]” This could mean very little, or it could open the door to anything. One door that’s flown wide open leads to the court of public opinion:
Brady deserves to be suspended for at least a year. He’s a cheater and a liar #PunishBrady

Interesting takes aside, we’re well aware of Roger Goodell‘s disciplinary track record. Two games for recorded proof of domestic violence. An entire season for smoking marijuana — a drug legal or decriminalized in many states and cities. Brady losing one year due to an integral involvement in Deflategate? Don’t take it off the table.
