Goodell Meeting with Benson/Payton

New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson and head coach Sean Payton are meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league security in New York on Monday regarding the ongoing investigation into the "bounty" scandal, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The NFL's investigation continues to be categorized as "ongoing," however it is unclear whether or not these discussions entail more fact finding or if Benson and Payton are being briefed about the expected forthcoming sanctions that could include fines, the loss of draft picks and suspensions

Personally, I think the verdict is in, Payton already admitted guilt. I think Goodell is throwing the book at them.

Goddell wants to end this as soon as possible now that it's coming out that every team is basically doing the same thing!

Goddell: "C'mon Payton, take this little slap on the wrist punishment so we can make this go away. You know that draft pick and two games suspension won't make any difference to Saints. Please Coach Paytom, Pretty Please!"

The problem with self-delusion is it just makes it all that much worse when reality kicks you in the balls.

    • Correct this logic I might if it meant taking his guaranteed money now and spread it over 3 years (2026-2028) and maybe add $6m.  I am not sure you can do that, or that he would do it, but it would be a way for him to extend his career and bank accounts and we would be getting him for $6m for 2 years (if healthy), basically, since his entire salary is guaranteed now.  If not, we lose an additional $6m spread over 2 years.  So let's say his guaranteed $$ for 2026 is $18m.  Give him a $24m contract ($8m per) through 2028.  Worst case:  We get $10m in cap relief now and create $3m dead cap for 2 years (2027-8).   Best case?  We get cap relief now and a good/decent guard/tackle for 2 years (2027-2028) and the total salary per year when he is active would be $12m if you don't count any money for the season he cannot play.  That is a good value, and we'd basically be getting a 50% discount rate.  Since we have so much guaranteed now, extending him is not as crazy as it seems.   Something has to be wrong with this logic...      
    • I don't disagree about Nikishin's potential availability, but Hamilton as a replacement? Not an upgrade in my book.
