Jets' Cromartie critical of Goodell, doesn't think Brady should be suspended
The New York Jets are widely considered to be the bitter rival of the New England Patriots. In turn, Jets players shouldn't support Patriots players, right? Well, this is a different time thanks to Deflategate.
When asked about Tom Brady's suspension and Roger Goodell's handling of the situation on ESPN's First Take, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie was critical of the commissioner. He also backed Brady, saying he shouldn't have been suspended -- just fined.
Cromartie on Brady: "Honestly, I don't think he should be suspended." Says a $25K fine would suffice. (via @FirstTake). #NYJ

Cromartie took a different stance than his running mate at cornerback, Darrelle Revis, who had no sympathy for the quarterback in May.
Maybe his opinion has since changed after more information was released, but it appears as though Revis and Cromartie aren't on the same page with this one.
