NFL offering him a reduction of his yearlong suspension to eight games, conditional upon dropping his defamation suit against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

"Vilma entered into settlement discussions with the NFL in good faith," Vilma's attorney, Peter Ginsberg, said in the filing. "Vilma is well aware of, and has absolutely complied with, his obligations to safeguard the existence and substance of all such discussions, as have all of his representatives.

"Media reporting of settlement discussions, attributed to "NFL sources," coming the day after the harsh and unfortunate comments from Goodell, some of which are identified above, reflect a long-standing media campaign by Goodell and the NFL in this matter. Vilma respectfully requests the Court to make inquiry regarding the breach of the obligations to retain the confidentiality of settlement discussions."

ESPN's report said that the offer was made late last week in the process of ongoing settlement talks involving the NFL, Vilma and three current and former suspended Saints players represented by the NFL Players Association.
