Bounty On Newton Was $5000


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Offered by Mike Ornstein, per this article from the New York Times: Dealmaker Leaves Fingerprints on Another Scandal

The first e-mail was sent to New Orleans Saints* Coach Sean Payton on Sept. 3 from the federal prison system’s minimum-security camp in Florence, Colo. It promised $5,000 for Saints* players who delivered hard hits on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the N.F.L.’s season-opening game a few days later.

The second message, sent a month later after the writer had been transferred to a halfway house, pledged $5,000 for hits on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton when the Saints* faced the Panthers.

That would have been for week five of last season.

Pretty sure that was the second game. Didn't he do that in the Dome?

Yeah, I think that was the later game.

I wonder, however, if this would have been the game where Smith was told by a Saints* player that he had to go after his legs.

I do remember a questionable sideline hit on Smith, but I don't recall which game it was in.

    • His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him
    • That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.
    • With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
