On Wednesday, the NFL and the NFLPA are scheduled to return to Judge Richard M. Berman’s courtroom for a settlement conference and oral argument regarding Tom Brady’s four-game suspension. But there’s another wrinkle to the proceedings that could become very interesting.
Sal Paolantonio of ESPN reports that Wednesday’s session “could include testimony from witnesses.”
So who would the witnesses be? The parties have agreed that there’s no need for any evidence to be developed beyond the 456-page appeal hearing transcript, the 243-page Ted Wells report, and any other exhibits introduced during the league’s in-house procedures.
