From Mike Triplet:

The resignation was first reported by Pro Football Talk, which wrote that speculation could arise regarding a connection between Hummel's departure and the delays in player suspensions in the Saints' case. Aiello quickly shot down that notion, though, saying that Hummel had "accepted a senior security position at a major company but delayed his departure until the Saints matter is completed."

"The company held the position open for him so that he could complete his work on the Saints matter," Aiello said. "It is a big career opportunity for Joe (who is a former FBI agent) and has no bearing whatsoever on the Saints matter."

Aiello said chief security officer Jeff Miller has led the Saints investigation, and that Hummel reports to Miller.
