Anything’s possible with Goodell, but meeting with him should reduce the chance of a max 5-8 game suspension. He could end up with 1-2 games if the meeting goes well from his side. He’s never had any prior incident or pattern in his 7 year career.

I would think showing remorse would help but with Goodell, I don't think he cares. I guess we'll see.

Nothing to say but “I used poor judgement”. All that explaining stuff is worthless.

Sure, the guy was an idiot to attempt to get on an elevator w/ people who made it clear he wasn’t welcomed, but Kamara simply needed to not be involved in it.

2min meeting tops. Own it, Apologize and take your medicine

I'd do both.
Take total responsibility but still try to make Roger understand why you messed up and how extraordinary the circumstances were.

He should wear the Goodell clown shirt in the meeting.

So much for a neutral party making the disciplinary decisions. I knew it was BS when they said they were moving to this system for handing out suspensions, but this just proves it. I wish the NFL had a real players association like other leagues. Because they don't, we get this kangaroo court with an ego driven clown driving the bus. There should be no reason for Kamara to talk to Goodell if a neutral arbitrator (the former judge) was truly neutral. If anything, Kamara would be talking to the judge next week, not Goodell.

Kamara deserves the repercussions of his actions, true enough, but I wish the league's transparency was...well clear. Goodell has repeatedly proven to be bias and I hate that Kamara has given him the opportunity to exercise those biases again.

Alvin Kamara and Dennis Allen explaining to Roger Goodell that the whole incident was a misunderstanding and Kamara should be free to play week 1 (2023, colorized).

The only thing this meeting can do is to try to get the NFL to not send the case to the Disciplinary Officer (a retired federal judge) she is the one who decides if a suspension is warranted and how long.

Yeah according to Goodell's logic Kamara would've been better off had he assaulted his own woman.

That’s really the only play that appeals to me here. There’s really nothing he can say here to improve his situation. May as well carpet bomb that worthless butt
