And don't believe that when/IF Cerullo's claims are discredited and all charges dropped that the Saints management will just sit back and keep taking it. And don't forget that Tom Benson hired the Freeh firm to investigate the whole matter so they aren't just sitting their and taking it.

Did they hold the $500K in escrow pending a resolution of the issues?

Did they say one word about wanting their 2nd round pick back?

Because if I had a multi-million dollar organization, bet your ass I would have. Anyone who rolls half a mil out and lets a competitive advantage as strong as a 2nd round pick go without knowing whether it was warranted is an idiot, point blank. It isn't a matter of "keep taking it." It's a matter of stroking a check for 500 large and then, after-the-fact, going "oh, gosh, we really DIDN'T do anything wrong?" Nobody does that. Nobody.
