If this turns out to be true the Saints* could squeak by... Or at least the players could. The coaches have already confessed.

I guess because there really isnt a shelf life for coaches they find it easier to accept the punishment, players on the other hand will have a hard time especially veterans like Vilma of coming back from a lengthy suspension.

Oh well, fug em

I don't see how this information undermines the case against Vilma. Just because he is disgruntled doesn't mean what he said wasn't true. Plus if this was all they had then it might be a problem but it wasn't. There are thousands of pages of documents. A disgruntled employee may have got the ball rolling but it was surely not the only person who discussed the issues. Vilma is just throwing things against the wall hoping something sticks.

So in a murder case for instance, if someone tips the police to who the murderer is, the cops go bring him in. The guy admits to it, but then later he starts whining that the person who turned him in happens to be his angry ex-girlfriend, and thus the case isn't valid?

Sounds legit.

No, not by any stretch. With the short attention span of this country coupled with our flair for revisionist history all it would take to sway public opinion and force the hand of the league is a few well timed articles and just enough doubt enducing debate and these assholes get off Scott free.

OJ anyone?

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
