Tom Brady has hired lawyer Jeffrey Kessler for his appeal against a four-game suspension issued based on the findings of the Wells Report, according to NFL Network's Albert Breer.
The NFLPA will represent Brady, with Kessler assigned to the case.
Said on TV earlier ... Brady has the choice of going into the appeal with union counsel, his own counsel, or both. Smart money is on both.

Kessler is considered by many to be the one of the foremost sports lawyers in the United States, representing Ray Rice, Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson on behalf of the NFLPA in the past 12 months.
