The NFL's investigation continues to be categorized as "ongoing," however it is unclear whether or not these discussions entail more fact finding or if Benson and Payton are being briefed about the expected forthcoming sanctions that could include fines, the loss of draft picks and suspensions. Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis, the Saints organization and former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams -- currently the Rams defensive coordinator and the central figure in the case -- were all cited for "conduct detrimental" to the league by the NFL after a months-long investigation. ... The Rams expect to learn about Williams' fate from the league office this week.
