Discipline for the Saints could include fines, suspensions and forfeiture of draft choices.

NFL investigation of Saints began in 2010 when allegations were made that Saints targeted QBs such as Brett Favre and Kurt Warner.

It's interesting because I don't recall him ever doing anything like this in Washington. I wonder if Gibbs had anything to do with that.

It happened while he was in DC also.

Williams employed a similar system while with the Redskins from 2004-07, according to a report Friday in The Washington Post.

In some cases, the amounts pledged were both significant and directed against a specific opposing player, according to the league's investigation. Four former Redskins players, including defensive end Phillip Daniels, told The Washington Post that Williams had a similar system while serving as the Redskins' defensive coordinator.
