Tom Brady could probably give a flying fudge if he gets suspended or not...what does he care?
Most employers who have an employee suspended from work for a year due to immoral, unethical conduct don't wish to pay said employee.
So $ is a reason to care.
Secondly, reputation.
On the other hand, if he really cared about "reputation," I guess he wouldn't be playing for Bellicheat in the first place!
It’s hard to win a 5th SB from your living room. And he DEFINITELY wants that record.
