Redskins' Kedric Golston cautions criticism of NFL discipline: 'We agreed to it'

At the end of the Deflategate scandal, the issue wasn't deflated footballs. It was the power NFL commissioner Roger Godell had to suspend Tom Brady four games despite multiple errors made by the league. That's why a judge initially ruled in favor of Brady before the NFL won an appeal.

Deflategate proved Goodell basically can make rules as he goes. Players aren't fans of the set-up, Kedric Golston included. But the Redskins veteran defensive lineman understands it's on the players, too, for agreeing to the rules in recent collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations.

Golston joined the league the same year Goodell took office, and he wrote a first-person piece for MMQB regarding the commissioner.
