Chamberlain also didn't see any drawbacks with the Saints, despite the scars and looming penalties stemming from the NFL's bounty investigation.

"You know, it's unfortunate and it's a tough deal," Chamberlain said. "But I know the people of New Orleans have been through a lot more adversity than this. And just from talking to people around here, I can tell they're going to use this as a rallying point, and it will bring the team that much tighter together, make them hungry. We'll almost use it as fuel."
