Roger Goodell has refused to share any of the supposed evidence he claims supports this unprecedented punishment
We've got good lawyers too
There had to be punitive action from the commissioner's office because there has to be more than just a reminder; he has to come up with something that will be a really strong deterrent ... I think [Roger Goodell] accomplished that. What I don't understand is how a bounty works. In theory, it shouldn't ...

What Roger Goodell has done—and he's been harsh on the coaches and players involved—I think he's doing the right thing to make sure this doesn't happen ever again

I think it would be great. Growing up, it's one of those things (where), I've been watching the draft, I don't know how long. You want to get your name called on that first day ... You want to be on that first-day list, when (NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell) says, ‘So-and-so selects, Luke Kuechly, lineba...

With the discipline that involved the players, we hope to be doing that very soon and get that behind us
