I'm unsure on this,unless the players union think the evidence is unsound wouldn't it be better to get whatever punishment comes out the way ASAP?

I think it's best to drag it on as long as possible. The draft is approaching and it will soon be forgotten. Let them issue punishments during the season for next offseason or whatever.

If the union finds that the problem is wide spread, and lots of retired players are joking about it, then singling out the Saints to make an "example of" may not be fair. What about Washington and Buffalo? GW ran the same scheme there... will they be punished?
