The NFL has never experienced a controversy like the “Deflategate” one, so penalties to the New England Patriots for their roles in the scandal would be unprecedented. The biggest question is what will happen to Tom Brady, who lied about his knowledge of the issue.
One report says “everything is being considered” as punishment for the 4-time Super Bowl-winning QB.
“Everything is being studied, everything is being considered,” a source told The Miami Herald’s Armando Salguero regarding a potential punishment for Brady.
At a January press conference, Brady pleaded ignorance regarding footballs being altered, saying he would never break the rules.
