Saints' quarterback Drew Brees told the Dan Patrick radio show that Saints coaches aren't appealing their bounty scandal suspensions because the NFL is holding further punishment over their heads. Brees said he wasn't surprised head coach Sean Payton and former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams haven't been heard from while all four players facing suspensions have publicly defended their innocence. "I have pretty good knowledge and feel like I've been informed that a lot of those coaches feel like there are further sanctions that are being held over their heads if they don't quote-unquote cooperate with the investigation," Brees said. "Even though punishment has already been levied on the coaches and already been determined ... I think they feel if they speak out on behalf of the players, that's being held over their head."
