Report: Saints kept bounty ledger

The NFL has a copy of a ledger detailing weekly earnings for players in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.

Yahoo! Sports, citing two sources with knowledge of the NFL's evidence, reports the ledger showed payments of $1,000 for cart-offs, $400 for whacks -- also known as hard hits -- and $100 deductions for mental errors. According to the report, Saints players were told on a week-by-week basis of their performance.

"The players clearly knew what was going (on) each week with the payments," one of the sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Saints defensive players would consistently encourage teammates to place bounty money earned back into the pool, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.
