NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Tuesday that New Orleans Saints defensive ends Charles Grant and Will Smith will not be suspended for their involvement in the “Star Caps” case.
“This situation presents several unique and narrow aspects that I believe call for us to put the good of the game ahead of questions of discipline,” Goodell said. “Considerations of fairness, uniform application of our policies, and competitive integrity all support deferring the suspensions at this time. I am not prepared to treat players differently when the same conduct is involved.”
Goodell did not specify whether Grant and Smith would face future discipline, but both are expected to play Sunday when the Saints play the Eagles.
