NFLPA, Vilma Lawsuit Conference Set For July 23 A settlement conference to consolidate cases filed by the NFL Players Association and suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is set for July 23, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. According to the reports, the sides are not likely to reach a settlement agreement at the hearings. The NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit against the NFL on behalf of three players suspended in connection with the league’s bounty investigation. Vilma is suing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and asked a judge to overturn his year-long suspension. Goodell then filed a motion to dismiss defamation claims that Vilma made in his first lawsuit against Goodell in May. Source: Sports Illustrated |
