So the news today is that Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, will not appeal. That means that he accepts the $1 million fine, and the loss of his 2016 1st round draft pick, and 2017 4th round draft pick. This has absolutely nothing to do with Brady's appeal, the expectation is that Brady will still appeal, and his suspension will probably be overturned to 2 games.
This all seems a little strange to me, as the initial reaction from the Patriots was an extraordinarily negative one, and that they were going to fight through the entire process. I think the media is missing something, because the initial reaction from Kraft and this decision don't add up. Unfortunately I think the situation isn't quite over yet, and there's going to be Deflate-Gate 2: Revenge of the Pats.
