That's unrealistic. Not only would it be unprecedented, but the Krafts were major supporters of Goodell's promotion. And, it's realistic to assume that there are some other teams breaking this rule. He needs to send a painfull message, not alienate himself from the owners.

Greg Williams said something kind of funny in his presser which can be seen at Redskins.com. The teams exchange film (now DVD's I guess) and he said he has seen film from other teams where coaches hand signals were accidentally left in the cuts. The teams forgot to edit them out. Pretty interesting.
