With so much emphasis given to the single fact that delivering a hit which resulted in an opposing player being injured was rewarded - I wonder how many different "performances" were on that ticket?

What were the rewards for all of the on-field performances and if they were ranked what was the order they were listed in?

For all we know, maybe the highest reward was payed for a pick 6 and the "stretcher hit" was just an afterthought - until of course Vilma's personal bounty declaration in the Conference Finals, if that is true.

In my opinion, this case should be more about the reward system itself and how it violates the salary rules - not about what individual performances were included in those that would be rewarded.

Once again, it does not affect the salary rules. It is a pool of the player's own money. And it isn't for the money. The money is minimal. It is for the glory. And don't think for a minute that a player doesn't get high fives when a play that lays out an opponent comes up during film study in every film room in the league.

The fact that f.e. GW himself put money into the pool without having any possibility of collecting anything out of it changes the nature of the system quite a bit. The size of the "rewards" or the "bounties" is beside the point, because it is more about the principle of the activity.

The reason why I said the issue should be more about the existence of the pool violating the salary cap laws is because many of the news articles and even NFL statements have stated that it did so. I didn't come up with this on my own - trust me, I'm not that smart.

I personally don't have any disillusions regarding this matter, myself being involved in something similar in my hockey playing days - big hits are something that warrant respect from other guys on the team and are also a source of pride to one self.
