Jonathan Vilma is bracing for a suspension between two to eight games, according to sources who have been in contact with the New Orleans Saints linebacker.

Vilma, his representatives and the NFL Players Association are unsure of exactly what discipline will be handed down at this point, but with Vilma the only player named in information released to the public, the player expects the discipline to be at least a few games, sources said.


2-8 games? That's it?

This is somewhat surprising, it's less than I expect.

I was anticipating a full season ban for VIlma.

I have mixed feelings on this, I like that it may be shorter than thought, but does this now screw us cap wise because people were thinking he'd be a whole year?

This doesn't bode well for Vilma. Everyone expected Payton's suspension to be 6-8 games not an entire season. I guess we will have to wait and see how far up his @$$ Goodell's panties are twisted.

Sounds like a typical Vilma season.

Very surprising. How Spags handles the linebacker rotation/depth chart with Vilma in the mix will be very interesting.

that's a huge range...I guess the larger the range, the more likely the actual suspension falls somewhere in there, thus making you look like you know what you're talking about.

I wish that piece of shite would just release the player suspensions already. The draft is in like 2 weeks, and we need to see how much cap room we have for obvious reasons. Also, i keep bracing for the FUUUUUUUU that this board will become for a couple days after the suspensions. I kinda want to get that over with as well. I'm gonna guess somewhere between 1-16 games for Vilma and let Goodell prove me right. That way I seem like i know what I'm talking about too.

That's BS. 2-8 games for a player who was paying his teammates to injure other players and who himself has been involved with bounties for injury since his days in college?

Vilma should get a lifetime ban. He's a thug and has no place representing New Orleans.

It does say they are guessing like the rest of us. They need to get this over with so everyone can move on and make preparations. It would suck if they come down on his birthday.
