Hargrove, Fujita present at grievance hearing

I think to get this OUT of the hands of His Lordship Goodell, the NFLPA decided it was best to send players to the hearing who were not involved with the Saints last season because the Saints were considered "still in the bounty business" last season.

These guys were accused of actions before the current NFLPA-NFL agreement. If they send these 2 to appeal away from Goodell, so to will Vilma and Smith.

Smart strategy.
