All four players suspended in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal have appealed their suspensions. It was previously reported that Jonathan Vilma appealed his season long suspension, but now news comes down that three other players involved have filed appeals as well.
All 4 Players Appeal Suspensions In Saints Bounty Case
Anthony Hargrove, who has since signed with the Green Bay Packers, has appealed his eight game suspension. Hargrove's ban was the second longest of the four, behind Vilma's season long suspension. Will Smith, who is still with the Saints, and Scott Fujita, who has since signed with the Browns, appealed their four and three game suspensions, respectively.
There isn’t a known timetable on the appeals. The non-player suspensions, including Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis, were expedited.
If the appeals were brought by Roger Goodell, and he’s the one hearing the appeals, how likely is it that any of them are overturned?
