Yes, Brady received a harsh punishment for the incident: a four-game suspension to start the 2016 NFL season. But Belichick didn’t exactly get off scot-free, as the Patriots were forced to surrender a 2016 first-round pick as well as a fourth-round compensatory selection in 2017.
Furthermore, Brady’s suspension now can be viewed as somewhat of a blessing in disguise, as the veteran quarterback received extended rest before returning to the field and leading the Patriots to a Super Bowl LI victory.
