Nfl Suspends 4 Saints For Bountygate: Vilma Gone For The Season!

May 02 2012 10:51 AM | Dpantherman in Carolina Panthers
Bountygate

Albert Breer ‏ @AlbertBreer

NFL announces Jonathan Vilma has been suspended for the 2012 season. Hargrove gets 8 games. Will Smith 4 games. Fujita 3 games.


Judy Battista ‏ @judybattista

NFL says Vilma helped in "establishing and funding the program".



Wasn't expecting a full season.  Fujita is a Brown and Hargove plays for the Packers.

So all the talk about "losing half their defense and special teams" was out to lunch?


Pretty sure we've known for a while that only a few players were going to be disciplined. This is pretty much on par with what I expected.

At least we play the saints in the our first 4 games so that Will Smith will not be in that game. :) I fully expected to win that game regardless.

I thought for sure that Roman Harper would get suspended.

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter
All 4 player suspensions will be appealed, per source who said, "Get ready for a massive multiple legal battle over this on several fronts."

Seeing as Brees might hold out....they might be CHASE-ing a winning record.

Edit: For those of you who don't know, Chase Daniels is their backup QB.

First good news Saints have had in a while .Vilma was done anyway, dude had 54 tackles total last year. Lofton had 140+. Lofton also better in coverage. Will Smith 35 tackles and 6 sacks. Both of these guys will be easily replaced. Was really worried that they were going to hit Harper or Greer who are the Saints best defensive players. With the players the Saints signed combined with returning everyone from the top offense in NFL history I can't imagine the Saints not making it to the SuperBowl next year which they will also host. What will Goodell do when he has to present the Lombardi to the Saints. Wow what a moment that will be!

You were making sense until the part about making it to the Super Bowl. Wake up from whatever dream you are having

One detail that's important here in NFL statement: League says all players were given a chance to interview with league, and none did. ...

Meh, they got off easy. They won't even feel these suspensions. Let the bandwagoners like breezing2anotherSB gloat all they want. The Taints still have to strap it on and play their games next season.

Will Smith won't be easily replaced nor are leaders (agree on Vilmas play though).

Trying to paint a delusional picture when it is crystal clear....you are screwed. Payton's dirty D is what made the Saints something more than a .500 caliber team

The title is incorrect. 2 Saints players and 2 former Saints players were suspended.

Good question about Harper. NFLN keeps showing the late hit on Smitty as part of their coverage. Part of what Goodell said was that they targeted the leaders of the program. Well, we know Harper never was a leader just a sheep.
