Of course, it would be better for Alvin Kamara to start the year on a suspension, and then come back fresh and motivated. Ideally, it would be a total of four games lost after an appeal but the shield might think they took a shot to their brand/image, since it occurred at the Pro Bowl. We'll see.

IF there is a suspension I'll guarantee you it will be at the beginning of the season. AT this point I'm no longer convinced there will be a suspension. Definitely not one of any extreme length.

I think there will be a small suspension. I think most things in the NFL work by quid pro quo and the Saints switched their vote to save Goodell’s Thursday night football project. It might look bad to not suspend Kamara at all but I expect a 2-4 game suspension. No suspension is possible. If the suspension is long the Saints would logically go back to a hard no on all Goodell’s initiatives and then Goodell and the Saints burned the Jets for nothing.

The good thing is we have the pieces in place to account for his absence during whatever suspension period he gets.

We are better prepared for him to miss time now than we were last year when I fully expected him to miss half the season. In retrospect, I wish that he had been suspended last year. I don't think that the NFL will go easy on him and give him a slap on the wrist since the incident happened at the pro bowl. The shield may feel the need to make an example out of him so that it looks like they care. (we all know that they only care about profit.)

Impeccable track record. Important note from Mike Triplett.

If I were AK I'd say...."I throw myself on the mercy of the court. Incidentally, that Payton is sure is a jerk. Isn't he?"
