Owners have zero to do with players getting suspended.  Kraft is as powerful as any owner out there and even he could not stop Goodell from suspending Brady.  The Steelers have had a long list of players suspended.

I respect Kraft for the fight he put up. That organization has had a long leash with the League for a long time. I think Goodell felt pressure from other teams to do something after the perceived spygate wrist slap. I believe Kraft had great influence. Not sure they are on good terms now, but wouldn't say they weren't before.
