Kraft's Uncertain Future In The NFL
Robert Kraft has reportedly rejected a plea deal from Florida prosecutors that would have dropped all charges in the prostitution solicitation case against him, as long as he paid the requisite fines, performed community service, and admitted that a jury would have found him guilty if the case had gone to trial.

The incident raises questions about the NFL’s past handling of cases of potential misconduct against women committed by the league’s owners or players, including high-profile accusations of sexual assault and domestic violence.
