According to Brett Favre's Book , The Vikings were also running a bounty program.

Don’t get caught up in the bait to call it a bounty program. No matter how many times people call it that, it was a pay for performance program, very similar if not identical to what most teams had employed at the time. The NFL TWISTED the narrative to fit their need to show the world they were focused on player safety and concussions. The facts are:

1.). The Saints were in the top tier of least injured opposing players that year.

2.) It was a different era of football, where hitting people was allowed. The Saints game plan was to hit the QB as much and as often as possible, a technique used to effect the timing of the opposing offense. All the veteran QBs that we faced in the playoffs that year suffered the same pressure. Yes, the high-low hit on farve should have been flagged, BUT that play does not justify the nfl saying we had a “bounty” program to injure players.

3.). There was NEVER any specific proof, that panned out more than a reach from the NFL, proving there was anything more than a “pay for porformance” program.

In conclusion, you will never convice anyone that wants to believe the saints had a program to injure players otherwise, because it fits their narrative of being butt hurt and petty. The Saints were equivalently taken to trial and proven innocent, but who cares about the facts? The facts are simple. The saints had a pay for performance program, JUST like everyone else.
