Last week, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady announced he would give up his fight vs. the NFL and accept his four-game suspension for his role in the Deflategate saga.
Monday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell didn’t have much in the way of parting words regarding the drawn out battle.
Goodell was attending the New York premiere of the Gleason Movie, and Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post asked Goodell for his reaction to Brady accepting his suspension.
“We moved on from that as a league quite a long time ago,” Goodell said.
Brady will be able to participate in training camp and the preseason. His suspension will begin Sept. 3 and his first game back will be Oct. 9 at the Browns. He and the NFLPA can still carry on the fight, but it appears Brady wants to serve the suspension and then move on.
The Gleason Movie, a documentary on former Saints safety Steve Gleason and his fight with ALS, debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. It will be released nationwide later this month.
