They said that Tagliabue carefully worded his response so that not only could he state that he affirms Goodell's finding, but still clears the way to vacate all player penalties.

If he had simply vacated the penalties without the stated affirmation it would have weakened Goodell's stance in the defamation case being handled by the firm in which Tagliabue is a partner.

Oh, and it is not "[the NFL's] cause in the defamation case", it is Goodell's cause given it is Vilma vs. Goodell.

So he didn't "state as much." Rather, some folks you listened to inferred as much, and you believe them.

Are you suggesting Goodell is "Tagliabue's client?" Because I put in NFL because I thought your use of the phrase "his client" was inaccurate. Now I think it's even more so.
