The Saints reportedly had a 'ledger' that kept track of weekly earnings for players in their bounty system, according to two sources. The ledger shows both money earned for "cart-offs" and "whacks" and deducted for "mental errors." "The players clearly knew what was going each week with the payments," a source told Yahoo! Sports. In fact, multiple sources admitted that Saints defensive players would regularly encourage teammates to put money earned from the bounty system back into the pool. It's unclear if that was to increase the potential winnings or eventually use the money for some other purpose. Regardless of whether the money was paid out or not, the mere implication of a cash payment for such plays is considered a violation of league rules.
