Exclamation Drew Brees, DeMaurice Smith are in New York meeting with the NFL

NEW YORK -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, former Saints linebacker Scott Fujita and NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith arrived at NFL offices in New York to meet with league officials on Monday.

The league has yet to announce player punishment for the "Bounty" scandal that has rocked the Saints organization. Head coach Sean Payton has been suspended for the 2012 season, general manager Mickey Loomis for eight games and assistant head coach Joe Vitt for six games for their involvement in the program, in which defensive players were financially rewarded for injuring opponents from 2009 to 2011. Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has been suspended indefinitely for his role in the scandal.

The NFLPA released a statement to NFL.com about the recently released audio tapes of Williams urging his players to injure opponents prior to last season's divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

"The NFLPA was aware of the existence of the Gregg Williams audio prior to its release," the statement reads. "We learned of the tape as part of our effort to obtain any and all information related to an alleged pay-to-injure scheme. We had no control of the content and did not make a determination on the method of its release. To date, the NFL has not provided the NFLPA with detailed evidence of the existence of such a program."
