Payton's suspension is supposed to begin on April 1. New Orleans general manager Mickey Loomis was also hit with an 8-game suspension and fined $500,000. Former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, now with the Rams, has been suspended indefinitely. Assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt was hit with a 6-game suspension without pay as well. The team loses the second round pick in this year's draft as well as a second-round pick in next year's draft and will be fined $500,000.
