Re: Verdict is in
Wow, I really expected Williams to get a year and maybe Payton 4 games. To suspend Payton a year is brutal for Saints and Williams may not work in the NFL again. Shot across the bow for sure

The sad thing is this is what should have happened to Belichik for spygate, but that was swept under the rug.

Re: Verdict is in
I expected a heavy fine and a possible year long suspensions for Sean Peyton and Greg Williams. I also thought Goodell would take away at least one first round pick so in that sense I think the Saints got lucky. Nevertheless the saints screwed themselves and hence got screwed. Goodell only came to tighten it. Wow. If this doesn't send a message I don't know what will.

Re: Verdict is in
I don't think it will matter at all if the player(s) that are suspended end up being former Saints.
Just because it happened a while ago doesn't prevent the league from handing down punishment. Replace the bounty with legal trouble. If player X commits a crime while on the Dolphins but then gets moved to the Bears (I'm looking at your Marshall), the league can still punish him once he's found guilty.
Combine that with this being the very topic the NFLPA has been wanting to see the league do something about -- player safety.
