New Orleans Saints/Washington Redskins: Bounty Hunters

I doubt they will take a 1st rounder, but I can see hefty fines for everyone involved, incuding Gregg Williams, suspensions of 1 or 2 games for active players and coaches, and maybe a 2nd round pick forfeited, but not a first rounder. I dunno though, Goddell does like to set an example, and has no quarrels with punishing severely without precedent.

Maybe Brees won't want to resign with the "dirty saints". Benson, Payton, Williams and Loomis all should be suspended and draft picks taken away for this kind of bullshit. Williams is a jackass.

According to the Washington Post, Gregg Williams was the master of the same bounty operation when he was the Redskins Assistant Head Coach Defense from 2004-2007.

What a dumb ass. Great thanks Williams. Probably will cost us a shot at RG3. Woohoo.

Wow.....please No Skin's involvement........
Oh that's right, we got the Stoners..

Oh we did, they did, Packers did, etc. It's called football, not fairyball. I'm glad to hear teams still go out and punish other players lining up against them. I want to see Romo decapitated, I want to see Eli catch a high-low combo. Goodell can put the good foot forward, and have a nice pretty PR face about player safty, but I'm glad to hear that the players are still playing hard nosed football.

:soapbox:

end rant

NFL32 people including schefter were saying that the Redskins have been linked, like you all have said. I don't see us gettting punished for what happened 5+ years ago, with players that are mostly out of the league. The only guys that are still here are London and Rocky (who currently aren't under contract), DHall, Landry.

So now its Brees and Cousins or Brees and Foles?

GW's defenses sent a lot of people to IR after playing us while he was here, so i'm not shocked, but is it really worth throwing cash in when it's only 1k here or 2k there for guys that many 100 times that every week?

Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints had bounty systems that paid for big hits [updated] - The Insider - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/post/new-orleans-saints-had-bounty-system-that-paid-for-injuring-opponents-nfl-announces/2012/03/02/gIQAPNDDnR_blog.html#pagebreak)

I'd be willing to bet that this still goes on around the league. I have no problem with it. Trying to knock out the other teams best player has been around since the start of football. Again, as long as the hits are legal, and the ones against Farve and Warner were legal, then I have no problem with it. Of course Mr. Stiff Suit himself (Roger G.) is going to think differently.

The hits on Favre weren't legal
