Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The two men were not expected to attend with their suspensions as a result of the NFL's bounty investigation looming. Payton is suspended for a year, beginning April 1, while Loomis is banned from the team's first eight regular-season games, following the team's last preseason game. The meetings are scheduled to begin Monday and end Wednesday. Eliminating bounties likely will be one of the major topics discussed. Payton, who is reportedly being considered as a potential television analyst by FOX,
issued an apology on Friday, saying he took "full responsibility" for the bounty program the Saints used from the 2009-11 seasons.
