Curiously, Vilma never says that he never “offered” to pay $10,000 as an incentive to knock Brett Favre or Kurt Warner or anyone else out of any games. The use of the phrase “never paid, or intended to pay” copies the content of Vilma’s May 2 statement, which seemed to dance around the possibility that Vilma, perhaps in the heat of the moment, made a hollow offer to pay the money as part of an exercise in standard pregame hyperbole.

i guess this part of the article wasnt read. I don't recall Goodell defamation of Vilma. He said that he has evidence of Vilma's involvement and part of that evidence is offering to pay 10k. whether it was in jest or for some other reason, then it was still offered. this is something vilma has not denied. you see that he keeps using the same exact phrase. he used it in the statement, on twitter, and on this lawsuit. he is choosing his words carefully for a reason. i can see this clearly.
