The NFL and NFLPA have found a point of agreement when it comes to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s challenge of his four-game suspension.

Gabe Feldman of Tulane Law School reports that the two sides have asked Judge Richard Berman for an expedited schedule that would lead to a final resolution of the case, subject to appeal, before the start of the 2015 season. They propose a timeline that would have motions filed by August 7 and replied to by August 14 with the oral arguments and decision to follow in short order.

The two sides have also agreed that “no discovery is needed to adjudicate the motions, which will be based on the arbitration record.”

That request would avoid the need for Brady and the NFLPA to pursue an injunction, although a loss for Brady could lead him to ask an appeals court for one that would allow him to play pending an ultimate decision in the case.
