Quick Hit – New Orleans Saints Bounty Scandal Suspensions Continue!!!

Posted on May 2, 2012 by BrandiMarie 2 Comments

The drama and controversy concerning the New Orleans Saints organization and the “Bounty” scandal continues! Today the NFL announced that four New Orleans Saints players will be suspended with-out pay for their roles in the “Bounty” scandal. The players are Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove (now with the Green Bay Packers), Will Smith and linebacker Scott Fujita (now with the Cleveland Browns). Current Saints player Jonathan Vilma was penalized the toughest as he received a one-year suspension while the other player’s suspensions varied from three to eight games. The NFL and Commissioner Rodger Goodell released a statement today outlining player penalties in the scandal as well as evidence to support the suspensions. While the NFL is taking a zero tolerance stance in this scandal are these suspensions too severe and could the one-year ban against Jonathan Vilma tarnish his career? Share your thoughts and comments!

    The suspension will ruin his value but not his career. No organization will put the deserved amount of money for the risk they are going to take for a player that was out for a season. Especially with the new players this year, free agents, and drafts next year. Plus if the organization got penalize that to that extent I don’t think the player should get that big of a suspension since they were following executive decisions.

       I think they all can bounce back but Vilma will have to work the hardest. If he stays a Saint it will be easier for him to do.
