The Facts:
Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Monday a stronger player conduct policy will not be completed at these league meetings. By next month, however, Goodell expects to have in place the stricter plan and hopes to make some disciplinary decisions before the April 28-29 draft. "We're expecting discipline will be stepped up," Goodell added.

Even though Goodell wasn't ready to drop the hammer on some of the league's problem players, it won't be long. ... The new policy is expected to include provisions for a suspension of up to one year, Goodell said. As Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole noted, it is also supposed to allow Goodell and the league to act upon repeat offenders without having to wait for the judicial system to run its course. That is a vital difference between what Goodell wants and how predecessor Paul Tagliabue handled the conduct policy. ... It would be a good start.
