No competitor in the NFL needs a "bounty" to do his job. Winning is the ultimate incentive.

This is ugly. Yes, there used to be bounties. That's why there are rules now against them. They are dangerous. #idiocyinthnfl

Sean Peyton has a lot to answer for. This is one of the most disturbing stories I've ever heard during the 28years of my NFL association.

I mean seriously, think about it. You're talking about paying someone to INTENTIONALLY injure someone else. They put people in JAIL for that

So bounties taint the Saints the last 3 years?!? Is actually recording your opponent practicing before you play them worse?!?

No place in NFL for bounties. Physical play is an attribute but malicious intent should be removed

An I saying a bounty is a good thing? No, but my problem is if you participate & benefit from it you should not rat on others & be set free
