Trent Richardson released from the Raiders, who for some reason gave him a guaranteed 600k, Mark Davis should have kept some of that money and got a real haircut

But Bradford, as good as he's looked, might be the only player in the league more fragile than RGIII. RGIII would obviously be pretty cheap to sign with his career currently in limbo, and the chance to possibly stick it to the Redskins would no doubt appeal to him.
I'm not really saying RGIII would be signed to start or anything, he's clearly a project at this point. But if Chip can make Sanchez look competent, he can probably salvage RGIII into a decent QB with a year or two to teach him. I suppose the better question then is would RGIII's ego let him sit and learn.

They reportedly do have interest in him, but I doubt he'd want to come to Philly and be a third-stringer. As for Bradford, I think he'll be okay behind an improved offensive line and quicker passing game.

The funny thing is the remaining team punishment is still ridiculously excessive- the picks and the $ fine. Kraft said he made a mistake by withdrawing the fight, but my guess is there was an under the table agreement that the NFL would go easy on Brady if the Patriots didn't fight the team suspension- which the NFL clearly didn't honor. Or maybe Kraft just assumed the NFL would go easy on Brady if they didn't fight the team punishments. Either way, hopefully over with from an official standpoint. Over 7 months. Insane.

Awesome, now the NFL can appeal and drag this out to 2016.

Outstanding. Brady's lawyer knew the report wouldn't hold water in a federal court. Screw Goodell.

The case was weak.
And deflating balls is about on the same level as playing with an illegal curve on a hockey stick.
Full decision:

If the NFL appeals, it will likely not affect this season.

I'm not sure what to take away from this whole sideshow. On one hand it says you can "cheat" and lie about it with no ramifications, yet it also says the commissioner cannot decide punishment for his league? (Dangerous slope to get on imo)
Obvious that the infraction was as minor as it can get but it's still against stated rules.
What a cluster Fata this whole episode is.

The ruling, from what's being said, is not an exoneration of Brady or saying he did nothing wrong. It's simply that the NFL did not provide due process to him. Which will likely be the basis for appeal, that in their minds they did. What this ruling really does is offer a chance for virtually every ruling from the NFL now to be appealed on the same grounds.

It looked ridiculous from the start when compared to other suspensions for way worse offences.
Glad it was overturned and I don't even like the Patriots.

And the NFL says they will appeal:
@ArashMadani: Goodell: "We will appeal today's ruling in order to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game."

Roger Goodell statement on Brady ruling
"We are grateful to Judge Berman for hearing this matter, but respectfully disagree with today's decision. We will appeal today's ruling in order to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game. The commissioner's responsibility to secure the competitive fairness of our game is a paramount principle, and the league and our 32 clubs will continue to pursue a path to that end. While the legal phase of this process continues, we look forward to focusing on football and the opening of the regular season. "
