Jason La Canfora ‏ @JasonLaCanfora

Memo sent to NFL clubs notes an incident with Saints LB Jon Vilma putting up $10K cash for a pre-playoff bounty and also notes that, according to the memo, Sean Payton's agent, Mike Ornstein, put up money for a bounty on two occasions. Memo says the actions of Payton and GM Mickey Loomis serves as "conduct detrimental" to the game. Hard not to think steep punishment is coming

This is so huge, man. It's going to be awhile before this dies down. It's got some serious teeth and it's bitting hard!

HOLY S!!!!!!! WOW....

A media member(possibly from a bay area reporter) said that could be a possibility based on a report that a possible punishment could be the revocation of the franchise tag and the lose of the ability to use the tag for a # of years.

But Brees being a possible Franchise tag is what's interesting. If the Saints lose the ability to franchise this year, Brees AND Nicks would possibly hit the open market regardless because they don't have to sign with the Saints even if they match, right? This is really bad for them. Well deserved, too.

Maybe the Saints franchise Drew Brees and actively let him negotiate with other teams so they can get their two 1sts back.

Oh, it's on next year at NO.

I'm sure this team can't wait to get back on the field with them because they have enough incentives to just go out and target that D. One player at a time a la "Whitner" style.

Can't wait to see this OL after that DL. Will be fun to watch!

Joe is like Honey Badger now.

lol no one of the potential punishments being floated by media is that the Saints could lose the right to use the franchise tag for this year and possibly longer.

Won't happen. Too soon. They won't decide on punishments by the 5th.

Saints may consider trading Brees for two firsts under the franchise tag, if they anticipate not having a pick for the next couple years.

They've been investigating it for a year. I'm sure they've already got punishments laid out for it, not saying it'll happen but you know they already know what they're going to do.
