Ultimately, the Saints bounty scandal was a Gregg Williams bounty scandal. Even though the NFL opted not to venture down the rabbit hole by looking at the former New Orleans defensive coordinator’s habits with prior teams but to plug the thing with cement and make an example out of the Saints, a former NFL player who contends he was injured by a Gregg Williams-imposed bounty program with a different franchise decided to force the issue.
Former Giants linebacker Barrett Green sued in 2013 Washington and former tight end Robert Royal for a deliberate injury when Williams worked for the team.
