Can the Saints Sue the NFL?

I know Al Davis never shied away from suing the NFL back in the day for whatever reason or another. Can the Saints, as an organization, sue the NFL for defamation, or anything?

Technically yes, but, remember that the main power here in the league comes from all 32 owners so any negative coming from a lawsuit against the NFL would shine negatively on Benson and possibly hamper any further business with the league or other owners.

They can, but apparantly the NFL believes they have evidence showing orginization did wrong.
NFL is full of shite on this, but probably not a good idea to force the issue with a lawsuit.

I'm not an attorney so i really cant say for sure but i would think it would be along the lines of conspiracy. It possibly cost the saints $$ from playoff and merchandising revenue.

It is not in Benson's financial interest to sue the NFL on this matter because he would open a hornets nest with respect to the NFL head injury lawsuit.

Benson will wait and see what the judge decides in the case for Vilma. If judge rules in favor of Vilma you bet your arse that he will sue
