Killer.
I really think this is way too harsh since a lot of teams probably do this and hide it better.
Goodell really likes to make these "I am the king" statements every chance he gets.
Maybe this is to take attention away from the salary cap debacle that will end up being a black eye for the Commish.
I can't believe Sean Peyton is gone...this alone will hurt the team dramatically and could finally send Brees out of town. He still has not signed his franchise tag, right?
I think the reason they are getting hit so hard is because they were warned and did not stop. If that's not the case then why didn't they hit them harder the 1st time.

If I was DS I would be very careful on how he proceeds with the salary cap penalty.
Looks like Goodell has all the aces in his hand.

Is There anyway that we get the saints 2nd picks as compensation should we win in arbitration but lose out on getting all the money back?

You think we should get compensation for the Saints losing draft picks? Call me crazy but I highly doubt that. I think the best scenario is we don't end up paying the rest of the fine next year. We're not getting free draft picks, and if we are they won't be as high as the 2nd or 1st round.

I don't expect it but I have heard draft picks as possible compensation being tossed around before.

WOW is right!! . . . Deserved IMO . . . that's sends a pretty clear message that the NFL will not tolerate this type of behavior . . .
You really think that is deserved ?? You gotta be getting me man .. this is football ... 99% of the NFL players don't think this is deserved .. this is by far the most BS move the God-dell has ever done ... the fact that SpyGate didn't get the hoodie suspended and this blows a team away for a YEAR .. holy s**T man this is so over the top considering every single team does this is some way form or fashion ... I bet when GW was here and Area51 was laying down beatdowns you probably said, yeah you know what this is too much I hope they get the hammer laid down on them .. boo hoo on these hits .. give me a break dude ... football is heading down a real weird path if we keep putting skirts on these guys .. that's why tackling sucks and defenses get smoked .. I'm sorry but I love a good ass mammoth hit on a QB .. I feel bad for the Saints ... I also feel for the Skins/Boys with this Salary Cap BS .. the Shield is out of control with power.

Who gets those picks then? Or does everyone just slide up one pick?

the picks just won't exist. Remember the year the Patriots lost their 1st rounder for the tapes. there was only 31 picks in round one.
