Wow. I would not have guessed that. In addition to the curious logistics of this move, it also seems a little like the Saints giving the middle finger to Goodell. - "Yeah, you suspended him, but we don't care".

Maybe it's not intended that way or perceived that way. At the same time, it just seems to me that the Saints organization is determined to do themselves no favors in this whole mess.
