Lawyer: NFL hasn't asked about evidence of Saints' Vicodin theft
 

A lawyer who says he has recordings showing that the New Orleans Saints tried to cover up prescription Vicodin thefts from team headquarters adds the NFL hasn't asked to see any of the evidence that already has been sent to federal authorities.

"We're not adverse to letting the NFL know what we know," said attorney Donald Hyatt, who represents former Saints security director Geoffrey Santini. "That's the governing body for the sport. Maybe they need to know what's going on."

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has said the league is aware of the case against the Saints and is following developments, but he declined Thursday to address specifics, including any knowledge of the tapes.

Saints coach Sean Payton says he has never stolen or abused Vicodin.
