The franchise, which in the past six years had become one of the darlings of the NFL, and Loomis, who had a growing reputation of being one of the league's top executives, find themselves mired in potentially reputation-ruining allegations: an ESPN report that accuses Loomis of wiretapping the opposing coaches' booth in the Superdome during the 2002-04 seasons.

The New Orleans Saints will be sidelined until the 89th pick of this year's draft, having traded away their first-round pick for Mark Ingram last year and having lost their second-rounder as part of the NFL's bounty penalties.

The New Orleans Saints will enter tonight's NFL draft uncertain of any penalties that may be issued against several members of their defense in relation to the NFL's bounty investigation. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters at a pre-draft event in New York that no Saints player discipline announcement is coming this week.
