Don’t hold your breath waiting for a Deflategate settlement.
U.S. District Court Judge Richard Berman hadn’t issued a ruling on Tom Brady’s four-game suspension appeal as of Wednesday afternoon. The holdup reportedly isn’t related to revived settlement talks.
Per source, the NFL and NFLPA haven't had any Brady settlement talks since Monday's hearing. At this point, last-minute deal very unlikely.

Brady and the NFL failed to reach a settlement before Monday morning’s hearing. Gary Myers of the New York Daily News reported after the hearing that the league didn’t extend an official settlement offer to Brady but expressed a willingness to cut the New England Patriots quarterback’s suspension to three games if he admitted Deflategate guilt.
