Don't disagree at all, but Goddell's "basis" of punishment to the Saints brass was that they had been warned. I just thought it was an interesting point as to whether or not the players associated had recieved similiar warnings. If they had not, I would assume this will be the basis of thier case to reduce suspensions. Don't see them eliminitating, but could see a reduction, especially with Vilma.
Its awfully convienent that Vilma restructured his deal to help his team out with the cap this year. Saw somewhere that he reduced his base to about $1MM, and $4MMish was converted to bonus.
