The NFL network is talking about the loss of leadership in losing Vilma, saying that Lofton will match his production on the field.

I think Shanle needs to stick around, from what I hear he is very much so liked on the team and can take over the leadership role...

Yes, it is good to the king, or in this case the Emperor. If this little "Nero" is allowed to continue, we all will have front row seats to the burning of Rome.

Guck Foodell!!!

Not surprised by Vilma's punishment... Smith's suspension caught me off guard. Dude can't catch a break with Starcaps and now this.

Fujita has a pretty good shot at an appeal, IMO, since their "evidence" against him was basically just parroting back his quote from that interview that he did, right after the story broke. The other ones strike me as guys they were really gunning for.

Looks like Curtis Lofton is THE MAN now!

Was expecting something like this, we gotta move on now.

Are there any more suspensions coming down?

Hopefully not, the worst case scenario i envisioned was us losing half our defense, the players that have been suspended we have already signed replacements for

I don't like the legnth of the penalties and am a huge Vilma fan, but IMO this is a big win for the Saints. I was expecting many players to be suspended. Most folks were prepared to lose Vilma. This board was calling for him to be cut to clear space. Lofton is possibly an upgrade. So basically we lose Smith for 5 games. That's a huge win. I was bracing to lose way more than this. We have a soft 1st 5 games. This is best case scenario IMO.
