Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, whom the NFL suspended for the 2012 season for his role in the team's bounty program, requested a meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell during the league's investigation -- before discipline was administered Wednesday -- but he opted not to finalize an appointment under the advice of legal counsel, according to a league source. The NFL had accepted Vilma's request. No Saints player other than former defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove took part in the league's investigation. Hargrove, who was suspended for eight games, provided a written statement saying a bounty program existed in New Orleans and acknowledging his role in it, according to the NFL. Vilma received the harshest discipline of the four players who were suspended, and he issued a statement vehemently denying his participation in the bounty program and his intent to fight the sanctions.

IMO this does not look well for Vilma. I'd rather be reinstated or reduced,, unless he was told about the evidence and he is now counting his blessing
I see it exactly the opposite Omen. I take this as a heck you Goodell I'll see you in court. Bring your "evidence" with you.
Why such a big fuss when, Vilma knows already that he's guilty? We all know that NFL is a had game but to put a bounty in the game, this is ridiculous
