To answer your question, basically YES -- they will almost certainly be appealed, disputed, dragged out and put off, and then ultimately staggered to keep the team somewhat competitive. It's even remotely possible that some may be delayed by as much as a year depending on how the appeals process goes... With some of our older players and guys now on other teams, I'm thinking in one or two cases we might even see some scenarios sorta like what happened with Deuce -- OK, you're officially suspended for X number of games but you've already been cut/waived by the team and/or retired from the NFL. Or guys who were suspended may be "off the team" as far as this year's roster goes, officially replaced by somebody else, but then may come back late in the year and be resigned if there is an injury, in a Mike McKenzie kind of way.
