Skins fan here.

And I say “good on” Rogers for speaking truthfully. If the league really wants to revise the culture of pro defense, they need as many people talking Real Talk as they can get.

I do think it’s important for the league to set a defined period of their investigation, though. And if they plan on going further, they need to widen the net beyond one coordinator.

As a fan, I welcome the change. If just one more kid doesn’t end up in a wheelchair, all the trouble will have been worth it.

funny how so many Washington fans hate on Rogers. He was a more than solid CB for you, get a grip. He dropped some INTs for you, cry about it. He was good last year and even made the pro bowl. he isnt a shutdown CB, but he is very good. I know he hates on the Skins organization, and i get the bad blood. However, the dude is good, your franchise is dysfunctional but hey maybe you’ll strike it big with RG3.

I guess the one thing that we know for sure is that no bounty money was paid for making interceptions … because, clearly, Carlos Rogers had no incentive to actually catch any of them.

Let’s face it. This has been going on for a while. Williams wasn’t the only one doing it. The press knows that as long as they continue to stick a microphone in front of a moron, they are going to find out that bounties are more prevalent than just the Saints or Williams’ former teams. If the NFL is going to do things like the NCAA and force teams to vacate championships to rectify something that went on years ago, they will destroy the sport and all of this policing by Goodell will be the ultimate pyrric victory. Lets just leave it at that and going forward, if a team is found out, they can expect to get hammered. Then we can stop the exercise of interviewing fools who seem to have agendas to get even with other teams but are too dumb to realize they are actually implicating themselves.

washington could get fined because you’re all forgetting one person that was there at the time: the owner of the friggin team.

If they want to investigate to see what the owner knew (who by the way the NFL is not currently all that fond of) , Snyder had better play it differently than what caused him to get fined as recently as just a couple of weeks ago: being disingenous.

Could he have known about these bounties? Cmon dude. Of course he or any owner could know of these things. It’s not impossible especially a guy who you can YouTube and find videos of hanging out IN the lockerroom after games.

Greg Williams also confirmed Carlos Rogers wanted to play in San Francisco, so he could show his “pride” and live where other men share the same lifestyles…

Look, every defense is trying to absolutely kill the star or any player. Ever hear of “Woo hits”? You dont think defensive players test that injury?

Saints got caught because Williams is an egomaniac a-hole with a God complex who thought he’d never get caught. Every Skins fan saw how arrogant that knucklehead was. So it sucks for the Saints that he went over the top while there and got caught.

Now Rogers is a bitter POS. he was very mediocre in Washington, lost the Seattle playoff game in 2006 by dropping an EASY pick-6, an now he’s bitter. He knows everyone hunts for a huge hit. He f’ing KNOWS it. He is seeing an opportunity to hurt the Skins and jumping on it. He’s not a “snitch”, everyone knows its everywhere. He’s an a-hole because he knows shining a light on it will FORCE the NFL to do something to Washington. So he’s just a bitter, immature ex-employee.

Well, if players have no problem with a pay-for-injury system and the kind of environment it builds, so be it. I just hope that when they are 40-years-old and can’t climb stairs, can’t remember what they were doing 5 minutes ago, and have to perpetually pop pills to manage the pain, that they don’t go crying to the league about how they should have done a better job of protecting them. You want to be all hardcore during your playing years? Well suck it up and deal with the aftermath.

Carlos just said what Saints fans have been saying all along and most of you continue to act as if doesn’t exist. This IS the culture of the NFL you so love. Does it make it right…no. Should the Saints have heeded the first warning and stopped…yes. But quit acting as if they are some rogue institution in a gentlemen’s league who bent rules that somehow changed the outcome of a game. EVERY team is doing the exact same thing…trying to hit the other guy as hard as you possibly can. What safety doesn’t relish knocking the snot out of a WR going over the middle? THAT is football. Why does ESPN have a segment every week during the season called JACKED UP!! Because we as fans love that ish. You acting like the Saints are a one off cheating organization…please. Hope that wool over your eyes is comfy!

Once again…I do not condone the actions of my team. I wish they had done more to stop this. I don’t like losing draft picks or feeling as if I must defend my team to morons on a daily basis. I can’t stand Greg Williams and wish he never was a Saint. But it is what it is. All I ask is that some of you, who are so quick to point fingers and act innocent…smell the roses. Cause your ish stinks the same…be THANKFUL its my team paying the price and not yours.

So let me make sure I understand…there’s outrage over this taking place in New Orleans. Yet, when a player states the exact SAME thing occurred under the SAME coordinator with another team, that player needs to keep his mouth shut??? This happened under Snyder’s watch just like it did with Benson. And the same for Joe Gibbs. But let’s just ignore that part of it. Everyone was upset that Shockey was portrayed as the whistleblower because he did the right thing (even though he wasn’t the one who told), yet Rogers is doing the wrong thing by doing the SAME thing??? If the NFL is serious about putting a stop to this practice, they sure as hell better get to punishing other teams for letting this happen on their watch. Dan, tell your people to get their ducks in a row.

Well then, I guess it’s now quite obvious that Rogers is just bitter because he DIDN’T MAKE ANY MONEY in a system that paid players for interceptions!!!

So suspend Greg Williams indefinitely.. problem solved. ON A SIDE NOTE… I sure hope when the draft starts in a few weeks with Goddell that he gets BOOOOOED out of the building.

Why is everyone so bitter that Carlos left a crape hole team for a winner? So he put in a pair on contacts and his game improved…big deal! Don’t hate because he went to a team with a solid plan who can coach. RG3 is headed down the same path and his true potential will not be reached until he goes to another team.

no news here… ANYWHERE Williams was there was more than likely a bounty system. With that said, how far did it go through the organization? Did the HC of those teams participate or did they have outside boosters participate? Was it a way of life substantiated through lies to the commissioner? Are you really going to go after the Skins and Bills when none of the players involved are on the team? I do believe these organizations need to be honest, if they find out the teams they once had used the bounty system, they should atleast man up and apologize, but there is not much else you can do to an organization YEARS after the fact.

Did Rogers just admit the 49ers had a “bounty” on Eli? Uh oh. That dude is a dipsh¡t. We need an investigation in SF now.

Won’t affect the Skins by being penalized. Roger smashed the Saints mostly because they lied to him for 3 years.

Clearly! GODdell wanted it to go away and Williams thought he was above all!

He was so arrogant that he texted while interviewing for the Redskins job that he had it in the bag. But even Dannyboy and the never blinking wide eyed Cervant-rotto knew this guy was a ticking time bomb!

His defenses took way too many chances and we lost too many games in the bag because of it.

Not sure how the Skins would get penalized. Williams has been gone since the end of the 2007 season and the only player on defense that is still here is London Fletcher. The coaches from then are gone and the front office from then is gone. Maybe a fine, but I don’t think it will be serve.

“Payments would be made for big plays, like interceptions.” — Obviously the skins shouldn’t be punished, the bounty didn’t work.

“But judge, look at Carlos’ performance… you think it was an incentive” — Case Closed

I’ve said this over and over to a co-worker and he continues to argue that it doesn’t make sense, EVERY SINGLE GOOD DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE HAS A BOUNTY. A ‘bounty’ DOES NOT MAKE IT DIRTY. Like he said, even playing ball at the park, you tell the other guy playing on the other side of the field, “if you come across the middle, I’m going to whack you.” Same thing can be said for “knocking an opposing player out of the game.” The hit DOESNT mean it’s a dirty hit.

Are More and more fans and media starting to see the light ? He essentially admitted they had a bounty on Eli! Does anyone ever wonder why The players are not up in arms about this? Bc they know it is and had been for a while common practice. Yeah if us common fans did it in our jobs we would go to jail but football is like what goes on in politics, behind the scenes people only know the picture that is painted for them.

Really???……because 80% coming out of King Rogers mouth is he is soooo concerned about player safety.
Here’s another player saying bounties were in effect somewhere other than New Orleans.
Oh my God, I thought this only happened with the Saints.
Anybody who thinks this doesn’t go on league wide has their head up their sanctimonious ass

First of all “REALLY Carlos hands of Stone” you want us to really believe this? From a player who has a bad taste in his mouth because the team failed to pay him what he thought he should get, instead let him walk…oh we know you have an axe to grind…but please spare us all this BS.

If you had any semblence of a brain you’d know if this were true it would hurt you more than the Skins….as you know longer play for them and if there were any actions taken it would be you who would be fined and subject to suspension.

I swear childish players who don’t get what they want can and will come up with all sorts of stories if they don’t get what they want, in closing I’d like for Carlos to give us the definition of bounty, and the last time I played football on defense the object of the game was to inflict pain and hit someone as hard as you could doesn’t mean it has to be dirty…of course if you’ve watched Carlos play you know he never got paid for a bounty hit he was too busy getting burnt on double moves…
