Once players begin suspension, they DO NOT count against the cap.

That is true because they aren't collecting paychecks! But they do take up a roster spot, they do not count on the active game roster though.

We'll have to cut him to free up a roster spot... then who is going to sign him to let him sit out those games waiting for the suspension to be over.

The Saints would free up more cap if Vilma was suspended then they would if they cut Vilma - a suspended player's base salary will not be counted towards the salary cap, only bonuses, which in Vilma's case would only amount to a $1.2M cap hit freeing up $5.4M in cap space.

Vilma is coming off of minor surgery. We can possibly place him on PUP list while he serves his suspension. He'll probably be the only one suspended because of the alleged $10,000 bounty on Farve if that is proven true. All other personal foul hits have been fined already so I don't think they will add to it and the more severe hits were done by McCray to Farve and Warner so no one is left on the team that it could affect in my opinion. but then again no one knows what the all high Goddell is thinking right about now.

I predicted Goodell would make an example of us, but not to this extent.
Late hits and other on field infractions have already been dealt with.
Any player penalties that come down would be based on player involvement
in putting monies in the hat or from collecting payments from said hat.
They already know who those players are and how much they collected.
Suspensions and fines will be based on that eveidence.
In my opinion, based on performance, some of these guys ought to be giving
that money back anyway, but that's a whole different thread.
I just hope Goodell fells that he's already made his point.

As long as it wasn't Greer then the Saints will be in a good shape

The last name was Charles Grant. And yes, they appear to be focusing on those four players.
