NFL calls Williams to N.Y. for Monday meeting about bounties

The source said Williams will talk with NFL general counsel Jeff Pash and security officials Joe Hummel and Jeff Miller. The summit was termed a "meeting" rather than a "hearing," according to the source.

The parties will continue to discuss Williams' violations in New Orleans and review his time as a coach in Tennessee, Buffalo, Washington and Jacksonville. Since the NFL first revealed the results of its investigation Friday, reports have surfaced about alleged "bounty" programs in Buffalo and Washington, though players who worked with Williams in Tennessee and Jacksonville have denied he used such a system with them.

Potential discipline, which likely will be significant, isn't expected to be discussed with Williams at Monday's meeting. And Williams, according to a league source, has been a "stand-up guy" through this phase of the process, after being more evasive with NFL officials in the past.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello declined to comment about the meeting Sunday when reached by NFL.com and NFL Network.

Aiello did tell The Associated Press earlier Sunday that the league plans to keep looking at plays from recent seasons in the wake of the findings against the Saints. Aiello said in an email that the NFL will be "addressing the issues raised as part of our responsibility to protect player safety and the integrity of the game."

No punishments have been handed out, but they could include suspension, fines and loss of draft picks. The Washington Post reported Sunday that the penalties might be "unprecedented," according to a person familiar with the deliberations.
