Tom Brady announced in a Facebook post Friday that he will not appeal his legal case against the NFL any further, leaving his four–game suspension for his purported role in the Deflategate scandal intact to start the 2016 NFL season.

“I'm very grateful for the overwhelming support I've received from Mr. Kraft, the Kraft family, coach Belichick, my coaches and teammates, the NFLPA, my agents, my loving family and most of all, our fans,” Brady wrote.
