Under fire for running a "bounty system" as the defensive coordinator of the Saints, Gregg Williams reportedly did the same as the head coach of the Bills. The Buffalo News reported the development, citing former safety Coy Wire and three anonymous former players. "There was financial compensation," said Wire, who told the newspaper that an environment of "malicious intent" existed when he arrived. Williams coached the Bills from 2001 to 2003. The Washington Post reported that Williams operated a similar program as defensive coordinator of the Redskins from 2004 to 2007.
