NFL Notes: Tom Brady, Cardinals, Chiefs, Jaguars, & Panthers

Tom Brady

• According to Adam Schefter, Tom Brady‘s court session ended with settlement talks continuing.
• Schefter adds that Judge Berman is still undecided on which side will prevail.
• Kessler made the point that if NFL imposed a fine on Brady — like they did with Brett Favre for not cooperating — “we wouldn’t be here” before adding that they’re seizing upon the destruction of the phone because there’s “no legal basis” for what Goodell decided. (Mike Garafolo)
• Kessler argued that Brady destroyed his phone because he’s a celeb: “I don’t worry about people looking at pictures of my wife and children. They’re lovely pictures, by the way. … Or emails about a pool cover because I don’t have a pool.” (Mike Garafolo)
• Judge Berman was hammering the NFL regarding where the direct evidence of Brady deflating the footballs was. (Mike Garafolo)

Cardinals

• Cardinals C Lyle Sendlein‘s one-year deal is worth $1.4 million with $500,000 fully guaranteed. (Adam Caplan)
• Kent Somers believes Sendlein will make the final 53-man roster given that play-time incentives could push his deal with the Cardinals up to $2 million.

Chiefs

• Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he plans to play S Eric Berry Saturday night against Cardinals. (Adam Teicher)

Jaguars

• Jaguars WR Marqise Lee is targeting the third preseason game to make his return from a hamstring injury. (Ryan O’Halloran)

Panthers

• Panthers LB Luke Kuechly says there’s no real update on his contract talks, adding: “It’ll get done when it gets done“. (Joe Person)
