What the heck happens next? Re: Bountygate

Agreed. However, with the pending defamation case of Vilma's couldn't that be considered a felony?

I'm not sure if it would be a felony - but at a minimum it would allow Vilma a presumption in the defamation trial that every piece of evidence destroyed was favorable to Vilma. And it would definitely anger the judge. Certainly the league's lawyers are advising Goodell that with a pending lawsuit, he can't destroy evidence.

Of course all of this presumes Vilma's suit won't be dismissed.
