NFL determined that former Saints DC Gregg Williams administered the program with knowledge of other defensive coaches.

It is scrolling across the bottom of the NFL Network. Said that the "Bounty" system was administered by Greg Williams (DC) and involved at least 27 players.

Everyone already knew that Williams was a cheating scumbag....just confirmed what we knew.

Still wish some defense had done to Brees what their dirty defense and coach was doing to other teams. The Saints and their shitty fans can rot in hell for all I care.

The investigation revealed that the pool reached $50,000 or more during the 2009 playoffs, and players were paid $1,500 for a "knockout" and $1,000 for a "cart-off" with payouts doubling or tripling during the playoffs.

The NFL says Saints coach Sean Payton was not a direct participant yet was aware of the allegations and "failed to stop the bounty program."

Before the 2009 NFC Championship Game between the Saints and Vikings, New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma offered any teammate $10,000 to knock quarterback Brett Favre out of the game

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
