WWLTV Opinion piece: The time has come for NFL to show its hand

The one piece that the rest of the country and the media still cling to is that the coaches admitted to the bounty and accepted their suspensions so the NFL must be right on the whole bounty gate.

My thought on this though is that the coaches were forced to accept their suspensions in order to save their careers. The coaches really had no power to battle their employer.

So my question now is, would the saints players, past and present, have the right to file suit againtst the NFL to place an injunction on the coaches suspensions? The players claim could be 1) that the allegations directly reflects the players reputations. 2) an NFL career for players is short and that the unjust suspension causes significant damage to their career and earnings.

If the players could sue on behalf of the coaches it would shield the coaches from league retaliation. .... and on top of that is would be just another sore spot on Goodells behind that he has to deal with.
