Tom Brady's request for an rehearing before a full panel of judges was denied Mike Iupati Jersey by the Second Circuit on Tuesday morning, meaning the Patriots quarterback is increasingly likely to mi s the first four games of the 2016 season.His only recourse remaining is through the United States Supreme Court.The denial came in the form of a simple Order filed by the Second Circuit and read as following: Appellees, National Football League Players A sociation and Tom Brady, filed a petition for panel rehearing, or, in the alternative, for rehearing en banc. The panel that determined the appeal has considered the request for panel rehearing, and the active members of the Court have considered the request for rehearing en banc. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition is denied.Back in April, , with the case being heard in front of a limited panel of judges.Two ruled in favor of the , Roger Goodell's decision to suspend Brady.The Patriots quarterback appealed for an hearing -- such a hearing would take place D.J. Fluker Jersey in front of the same court but with a full panel of judges and serve as an extra layer for appealing -- but was denied. It is not unusual for the Second Circuit to deny such requests.Some good news for Brady: he'll save a little bit of money, . He won't have to give up nearly as much money if he serves the four-game suspension as he would have under his previous contract. From a football standpoint Marquise Blair Jersey , the Patriots will face an uphill battle in the first four weeks of the season. They'll put Jimmy Garrapolo under center at the Cardinals (Week 1), home against the Dolphins (Week 2), home against the Texans (Week 3) and home against the Bills (Week 4). The Pats Jaron Brown Jersey had succe s the last time Brady mi sed time with an ACL back in 2008, winning 11 games with Matt Ca sel under center, although they mi sed the playoffs.It's certainly not the same situation, and it's certainly po sible Brady and the NFLPA push the envelope by appealing to the Supreme Court. If they do, and it takes a substantial amount of time for the country's highest court to hear C. J. Prosise Jersey the decision, it's po sible Brady could receive a stay of the suspension. Given the current timeline -- Brady has 90 days to file an appeal -- it would be po sible for Brady to get a stay of his suspension while filing the appeal. It's also po sible the Supreme Court acts quickly because it believes this case is not worthy of the highest court in the land. So there is no absolute clarity, but it is becoming increasingly likely Tom Brady will serve his four-game suspension. |
