Minter says Players were rewarded for Game changing plays..

I do believe some players contracts, they have incentive clauses. But I don't think it is for game to game performance, total stats at end of year, like get X amount of rushing yards, or X amount of sacks and get x amount of money extra. But I don't believe it is game by game incentives.

This is from the article...Minter said he was among the Panthers' players who would chip in to the bonus pool for big plays.

"We'd all pony up," he said. "We might be like, 'OK, the first guy to tackle a guy inside the 20, we're going to put $1,000 on it.' That was more of an incentive program that we had. The bounty thing kind of caught me off-guard, that that was going on."

So it was paid by players to other players out of pocket.

I can't link to the article on charlotte observer i'm mobile,so if someone could that would be great. Basically, he states players were rewarded(paid) for making game changing plays.

Not sure how the league would view this. Could we be fined? I'm not sure...discuss

Did you read that article and actually think that it was the same thing or even close to the same thing as the Saints have been proven doing? :confused5:

Black Boxing Glove Incident:

NFL says to Panthers, "Quit that poo"

Panthers, "Yes sir."

Saints Bounty Program:

NFL says to Saints, "Quit that poo"

Saints, "Yeah sure" "fug you" as the NFL walks away.

NFL then says, "No, fug you."

So the question remains that if you collected 3000 dollars over the season for these incentives and didn't report them as income, would that qualify as income tax evasion? Don't think I would be telling that in public.

If it was between players (as it sounds like it was) and not from their employer, then as long as it was under the non-taxable "gift" threshold (don't know what that is anymore... used to be $10,000, I think), then likely not.

Is anyone else a little tired of "I can't link to the article I'm mobile"?

No. It not hurting people on perpose but, It is cash being paid to other players by players for "game changing" plays. Some of you seem to think it's in the players contracts,this is not the same thing. Not a Steak dinner. A change of cash from players to players outside of there contract to make big plays. I can't imagine the NFL allowing us to continue doing this.

if the rewards system was set up by coaches, and they have documents to prove it, then yes. the Panthers could get in trouble for it.

the thing that makes the Saints situation so sketch isn't the bounty thing, all teams have stuff like that set up. you can deny it all you want but all the players coming out saying it happens just proves it, maybe not injury bounties which is f**king dirty, but interceptions/fumbles/etc, yep. it's such a big deal because it was set up by a coach and they have tens of thousands of documents to prove it.

NFL isn't cracking down on rewarding players for INTs, fumbles, game changing plays.. they are cracking down on rewarding players for injuring another player..

monumental difference..

a secondary pooling money and paying guys out for INTs isn't a bounty.

As everything of significance from the observer ends up posted on this forum when you post stories like you have been doing it smacks of "hey look at me, I rushed to post this story before anyone else could" and yeah its lame...

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
