History

Historical Context

The NFL’s 2009-2011 Saints bounty program, uncovered in March 2012, led Commissioner Roger Goodell to levy a $500,000 fine, strip two second-round draft picks and suspend head coach Sean Payton for the 2012 season. That zero-tolerance stance has persisted, as seen in October 2026 when line judge Jeff Seeman received a two-game ban and referee Adrian Hill one game for profanity toward players.
