Can anyone help to verify some reasonable time frame in regards to Brady's options here? We have a couple of cases to go off, most recently the Saints and Peterson cases.
Per the CBA, we know that the NFLPA has set up an appeals process, which would then be followed by arbitration. These 2 processes will take awhile, once a suspension is handed down. If Brady really wanted to challenge the CBA in federal court, the most recent case of Adrian Peterson took about 4 months from date of request until the 2nd arbitration process helped to reinstate him back into the game. As stated, it's going to be a bit of a wait just to get to that decision.
When all of that is considered, would the timeframe match up well enough to prove beneficial for a 4 game suspension? Or would it still be pushing things, should it get that far?
Point being that in order to present the case at the federal level, this is going to take some time. For those who are knowledgeable in this area, can you provide some type of reasonable predictor? Thank you.
