Release sanctions in conjunction with accusations. This isn't a trial (criminal, civil) where jurisprudence must be followed.

The NFL should keep it's "stinking pie-hole" shut until it completes it's investigation and is ready to rule on punishment.

Am I alone in thinking that this cloud hanging over the organization might sway players' decisions about signing here?

One word: Publicity

It's a double-edge sword for the NFL, because it knows it has looming problems with former players crawling out from under rocks claiming they were mistreated by the league...

...but any press is good press, so to speak...

I think it all depends on what type of player we are signing. A player coming to win a SB this year. No way they will sign with us.

Good to average players... maybe. I mean after all its a job first and foremost. Secondly, most of the suspensions will be over and done with this season HOPEFULLY. So if I got a deal to be here say 2 to 3 years I'll take it. Draft picks I could careless about because you can make up for it by FA. Also, with suspensions looming that means more playing time for me depending on position I played.

If you think this will make a hill of beans difference whether they sign with us you are absolutely delusional!

We have the means to win more SB's. This is blown out of whack by the media. Nothing has been proven! There is no evidence shown. EVERYTHING IS SPECULATION.

To think someone would not sign with us because our FORMER DC had this "pay for performance" program is HILARIOUS.

I don't think it changes any player's view on suiting up for the Saints unless some kind of draconian, ham-stringing punishment is levied by the NFL that would severly impact New Orleans for years to come ..... something like in college where they get a postseason ban, TV ban, loss of scholarships, probation, et... It impacts a program for years and discourages recruits.

That's the only way I see players not wanting to come to the Saints.
