Saints Bounty Penalties

The Saints have been punished for there involvement in a bounty program created by former defensive coordinator Greg Williams.  The penalties handed down by Roger Goodell included a year suspension for head coach Sean Peyton defensive coordinator Greg Williams who is now with the the Rams has been suspended indefinitely and it will be looked at again after the season is over.  Other penalties include a six game suspension for assistant coach Joe Vitt and an eight game suspension for general manager Mickey Loomis.  The team is being fined 500k and the league is taking two second round draft picks on this year and one in 2013.  Many have said that these are fair and that Roger Goodell is setting an example for the rest of the league.  What does this mean for the Saints this year and in the future?  It doesn't look like the Saints will have an easy time this year with a new coach and the penalties they have been handed. But with a quarterback like Drew Brees who knows what the Saints many be capable of this year.
