I wonder if that's the plan. Goodell is either a crazy, arrogant megalomaniac, in which case the owners would be stepping in and doing damage control, or he has an exit strategy. If he lets this play out and he has no true evidence then he looks bad and it emboldens the union to fight him. If the players get off on a technicality his culture change shock and awe message was still sent, the players are relieved and move on rather than seeing Vilma as a martyr that unifies the players against Goodell, and the NFL gets to say "we tried to push player safety but he players union fought against us on the issue." I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but that actually seems like a better exit strategy than letting this play out in court or settling in a way that makes Goodell look weak like having some one else decide the player punishment.
Sounds crazy, but it was the first thing that popped in my head when I read the article.
