Perhaps mindful they are scheduled to face him this fall, the Jets and Giants took the high road Tuesday when it came to Tom Brady and Deflategate.
“I’m still trying to digest it,” Jets wide receiver Eric Decker said when asked about Brady’s four-game NFL suspension at the annual United Way Gridiron Gala in Midtown.
“There’s been punishment, but personally, I respect Tom Brady and what he’s done,” Decker added. “I don’t think it’ll diminish what he’s done in the past.”
The Jets are AFC East rivals with Brady and the Patriots and are set to square off against him twice in 2015.
