Attorneys for Jonathan Vilma filed a statement in the Eastern District Court of Louisiana Wednesday, which said that if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell does not overturn his yearlong suspension of Vilma, they will seek an injunction against his punishment. The statement, written to Judge Helen Berrigan, said that since Vilma's attorneys believe the issue is related to his defamation suit, filed against Goodell on May 17, the injunction should also be handled in Berrigan's court. "We are writing to inform the court that, in the event Mr. Goodell does not rescind his suspension, Mr. Vilma intends to seek injunctive relief in a separate action filed in this District, which we believe would be considered a related case and assigned to your Honor pursuant to LR 3.1 and 3.1.1," his attorneys said in the statement. Vilma's counsel said in the statement that they believe Goodell could hand down a decision on the Saints linebacker's suspension soon, though NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Tuesday that the league has no timetable for making a decision. Goodell suspended Vilma for one season after the NFL concluded he played a leading role in a Saints pay-for-performance bounty program run during former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' tenure from the 2009-11 season.

I sure hope Vilma knows what he is doing. 2 outcomes goodells is wrong looks like an butt vilma is wrong and looks like a dumb ass
I don't think Vilma looks so much like a dumb butt. I think he's either gonna be right or exploring every possible option he can to come out on top of this thing one way or another...
If he truly believes he is innocent, there's nothing dumb about it. He's going to all lengths to prove his innocence, makes you wonder what the NFL is actually doing.
Well not for nothing but Barry Bonds and Jerry Sandusky both truly believe that each man is innocent....
