The New Orleans Saints and general manager Mickey Loomis followed head coach Sean Payton in appealing their penalties stemming from the "bounty" scandal that engulfed the franchise from 2009 through 2011.

The Saints, fined $500,000 and docked two second-round draft picks, and Loomis, suspended the first eight games of the 2012 season, are appealing their punishments separately to the league, Saints vice president of communications Greg Bensel said Friday. Bensel confirmed "that the team and Mickey Loomis albeit separately have respectfully filed an appeal with the league."

if this ever happend to the panthers-- we would want our staff to do the exact same thing.

it happend, this appeal obviously is just to buy time ( I doubt it'll backfire) the commish seems to be fair and although each situation is different the process is the same for each one.

As for player suspensions, they are coming-- but some expect them to be staggered ie. vilma first 8 games, grant last 8 games-- that is also fair IMO but I WOULDN"T be surprised if they are not staggered either.

      You can still prioritize ras, just make sure they do agility drills too.  Lol.  All the high ras guys we draft don't do any agility drills.  Their high ras comes entirely from height, weight, and 40 lol

      I mean, that is the definition of a safe gameplan coupled w/ Hubbard.  It's all check downs or throws to the outside and away from coverage.

      We’d be better off for the future if we had taken Wilson instead of Iky. Based on where we will draft, one of two stud LTs will very likely be available to us. With the two QBs, two CBs, Graham and maybe Carter, we might be better at LT with Wilson also. Iky is always going to be a liability pass blocking. We also could have gone CB or C instead of XL. Team wise, I think we’d be better overall. I’m worried we may miss out on the clear defensive studs in this draft and reach because we don’t want a LT.
