I disagree. This is not what he is saying. He is saying exactly what I broke it down to.

It has nothing to do with fumbles. He is using a conclusion theory at this point. I will agree that it is "loose" but will hold up because however loose it is. It's technically true.

He is saying that the Saints got paid for big hits. If those big hits lead to an injury or cart-off, then ESSENTIALLY the Saints players got paid for a hit that cause an injury or cart-off.

This is what he is calling a bounty. It's clear from the email I received and from the part you quoted.

"The bounty prohibition forbids offering or accepting any reward - cash or otherwise - for on-field misconduct, plays that incentivize or result in injury to opposing players, or for performance against an opposing player, group of players, or team."
