NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he expects to hear the appeals of Saints coach Sean Payton and other New Orleans officials suspended for playing a part in the team's bounty program by the end of the week.
Goodell was at a Brooklyn film studio Tuesday for the unveiling of the league's new Nike-designed uniforms.
He says he hopes any decisions on possible discipline for players involved in the Saints' scandal will come "soon."
Goodell says the NFL met with the Players Association and executive director DeMaurice Smith on Monday to share information about the league's investigation of the Saints.
He says he expects to speak to Smith again as soon as Wednesday.
