What happens with the NFL’s appeal of Tom Brady’s suspension being overturned? Brady had his four-game suspension for the start of the 2015 season overturned by U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman on Sept. 3, which the NFL has appealed. The appeal was filed with the 2nd Circuit of Appeals and is scheduled to be heard March 3. So just like the 2015 offseason, what happens in the courtroom in early March will be a dominant storyline that trumps everything else, as it’s still possible that Brady could be suspended if the NFL wins on appeal.
