I don't think it matters if they got paid to hurt players (except the penalty would be more). According to the NFL report yesterday, you can't pay players for anything.

Payments were made for plays such as interceptions or fumble recoveries. All such payments are against league rules.


I guess the above statement would include OL giving good pass protection.

Exactly what I was thinking. These QB's are certainly breaking the rules and some of it is with much more monetary value than the Saints ever did.

Bunch of hypocrites...all of them.

I guess if a tiny "pot of $$$" wasn't on the line then the defensive players would just not go for that sack, interception, or forced turnover... nah.

Flawed thinking. Those guys are looking for stats whether there is $1000 pot on the line or not. They are all looking to raise their "stock" for the next contract. And you can bet if any of them have an open line at a QB, they are coming full throttle.

If they miss a sack or etc because they were trying to play the kinder gentler version of football, they all know they will be quickly replaced.

As for intentionally hurting players, there's plenty of yo-yo's in the league that do that already. Ndamukong Suh comes to mind.
