Jonathan Vilma Appeals Season-Long NFL Suspension

krishughes:

New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma has appealed his one-year suspension from the NFL for his role in the team’s bounty program.

It has not yet been determined whether the other Saints players involved in the program, and who received penalties from the league will also appeal their suspensions– Green Bay Packers DE Anthony Hargrove, Saints DE Will Smith and Cleveland Browns LB Scott Fujita– but all signs suggest it is a matter of time before they do.

Each of these men has until the close of league business today to file a formal appeal, and it’s reasonable to assume that with the news of Vilma’s appeal, the others will be soon to follow.
