Report: NFLPA to go to federal court if Brady remains suspended for any games

Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy is still mulling whether to take legal action after arbitrator Harold Henderson reduced his suspension to four games last week and that’s not the only potential court case that the NFL could face in the future.

We’re waiting to find out NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s ruling on Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s appeal of his four-game Deflategate suspension and that ruling could also open up a door to the courthouse. ABC and ESPN legal analyst Ryan Smith reported, via NFLPA sources, that the union plans to mount a challenge to the league in federal court in the event the appeal ruling results in any suspension for Brady.
