Nope. Because they weren't questioned about it repeatedly - nor did those teams lie numerous times when asked those questions.
Does it happen at other places? Probably. Were the Saints made a scapegoat/example out of? Probably.

non-contract bonus payments were happening around the league ... and that’ll discontinue

There's a clear distinction here though. It's one thing to say - you get 500$ for a special teams tackle. It's a whole different deal to say - you get 500$ for knocking a QB out of the game. Those are 2 different things - one is over the line...

Goodell straight up said it happened other places. We also wouldn't have been questioned had someone not snitched. That's a fact. These other teams should be punished for not being forthcoming with the info IMO. It's only fair

Tell that to the rest of the country. This was the biggest problem all along, the media pushing this as an isolated incident, and ridiculously hypocritical fans buying into it.

So, it would be acceptable to receive $500 for a special teams tackle, even if it knocks someone out of a game, as long as you do not state that? Would it be OK, then, to receive $500 for tackling a QB if he were not knocked from the game? Talk about your oxymoron's.
