Why is this such a big deal? Very heavy fines for what is deemed illegal and let the chips, or QBs, fall where they may. It's a man's sport. No place for pussies on the field.

looks like when he was with the Bills too.
player for the bills said that it was more so pushed by the players.
also one of the players said there was never a witnessed payout.

Its a big deal on a bunch of levels, the worst of which is paying players to hurt other players. Thats a massive issue especially since the league is currently being sued by former players for not protecting them enough. On top of that if you are paying players over their salary you also run into salary cap violations.

so then do you question if the players were told that at contract time?
off the books bonuses could be an incentive.

still think there needs to be an injury list associated with this.

Anyone that watches the NFL and thinks they're all not trying to hurt each other has never played the game. Trust me, it's not a friendly scrum out there.

Thats not even close to the point. Maybe you are being dense on purpose though.
