Because Wilf knows that, without the Williams boys his D will be no better than ours. So the owner is pulling out all the stops to keep them for the playoof run. Just take a look at how Wilf went with them both to the commish's hearing.
Now I'm not so sure that what they did was so criminal, but if Goodall and the NFL are going to be consistent, then they do need to be suspended. I'm just pissed it took the league so long to get around to it.
