The New England Patriots will not appeal their punishment from the NFL for Deflategate.

The Patriots received a $1 million fine and the loss of a first-round pick in 2016 and a fourth-round selection in 2017.

"Although I might disagree with what is decided, I do have respect for the commissioner and believe that he's doing what he perceives to be in the best interest of the full 32," Robert Kraft said during a six-minute address to reporters. "So in that spirit I don't want to continue the rhetoric that's gone on for the past four months. I'm going to accept, reluctantly, what he has given to us and not continue this dialogue and rhetoric and we won't appeal."

Kraft remains clear that he supports the appeal of Tom Brady.
