New Orleans Saints LB Jonathan Vilma got a chance to discuss his “Bounty-gate” case face-to-face with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday.
Vilma, flanked by attorney Peter Ginsberg, was presented with a sworn affidavit by his former defensive coordinator in New Orleans, Gregg Williams, stating Vilma offered any teammate $10,000 to knock Bret Favre out of their NFC title game in January of 2010.
“It was a reiteration of what Gregg Williams has said before,” Ginsberg told the NFL Network’s Albert Breer on Monday. “And it’s just flat wrong. We don’t know what Gregg Williams’ motivation is, what his motives are. But we know it’s inconsistent with the truth. And dozens of other players have provided the commissioner with the same information.”
Breer tweeted that Ginsberg expects a decision on Vilma by early next week.
“We had a very frank hearing today, a very truthful, very frank hearing,” Vilma said, according to Breer. “I was allowed to speak. It was good.”
