DT thin Saints may re-sign Remi Ayodele

I got it wrong, Ornstein wasn't talking about a player, apparently he was just talking about himself... Here's a piece of an article where I read about it:

(The league said that when Payton was interviewed this year about the bounties, he claimed to be unaware of the program, which was contradicted by others who had been interviewed. The investigation found that before the Saints’ season-opening game in 2011 against the Green Bay Packers, Payton received an e-mail from a close associate — believed to be Mike Ornstein, a marketing agent who is a convicted felon — that stated, in part, “PS Greg Williams put me down for $5000 on Rogers.” When Payton was shown the e-mail during the investigation, he acknowledged that it was a bounty on Rodgers, the Packers’ quarterback.)

I don't know how that email proves anything. Gregg Williams put him down for $5000 on Rodgers what? Getting sacked? Throwing an interception? Discount double check?... It's vague at best.

Can you provide the link to that article? I'd like to read it.

We need to forget about this guy. We just added Bunkley who is a great run stuffer and Tom Johnson will be a good player this year.

I think we are gonna go after another FA we should go get Amobe Okoye. He is a gap penetrator and would be a great addition.
If not him then go get a guy like Fred Robbins who will be a great locker room guy, veteran, savvy, good leverage player, who is a sure tackler and would provide quality depth. Plus he is familiar with Spags defense.

Here is the link you were asking for:

There are several articles about it you can find, but I think this one has a little more information from Nola.com:

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
