NFL Spokesman Greg Aiello Says Of Course Bounty Coaches Are Free To Speak

[Sweets]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said yesterday that suspended Saints coaches are afraid of speaking out about their situation out of fear. "I've been informed a lot of those coaches feel there are further sanctions being held over their head if they don't cooperate with the investigation," Brees said. "If they were to speak out on behalf of the players, maybe that's the fear they have." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello has told a variety of outlets that there is simply no truth to Brees' claims, Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com reports. "Of course people are free to speak, as Joe Vitt has done," Aiello told Around the League Wednesday. As Aiello points out, Saints interim coach Joe Vitt has spoken out against the league. Vitt wondered aloud if NFL evidence has been tampered with.
