Label applied to Saints players’ punishment will be key to appeal process
 

As a source with knowledge of the process has explained it, one of the key factors in any discipline will be whether the penalties are characterized as on-field or off-field behavior.

It it’s the former, any appeals would be heard by Ted Cottrell or Art Shell, jointly appointed and paid by the NFL and the NFLPA. For the latter, the NFL would review the decision.

Label applied to Saints players

WhoDat!656 You always have so much information to share. Thanks.

cool that could be very good news for all the players involved.

As always, it comes down to 'legalise' ... the Saints weren't doing anything any other NFL team wasn't doing, they just have to find a way to word the charges to make 'em stick. Kill the lawyers.
