Given the well documented degree to which he admires Tom Brady, it’s no surprise that Julian Edelman is excited for the end of his quarterback’s suspension.

Edelman, who described Brady leaving for his four-game suspension at the end of preseason as being “like one of your buddies going to jail,” shared a succinct social media message expressing his reaction to the end of the NFL-imposed punishment:
