Jonathan Vilma met with Roger Goodell Tuesday, after a federal judge had overturned the NFL’s suspension. At the meeting, the league presented Vilma with an affidavit signed by Gregg Williams. That affidavit was signed by Williams on Friday, and details his involvement in a pay for performance, and claims that Vilma offered $10,000 before the NFC Championship Game if Brett Favre was knocked out of the game. The full affidavit can be viewed here.

Vilma, of course, had a response:

It’s a bad look for the NFL that this affidavit was just signed three days ago. The gist of it is similar to what the NFL has claimed Williams said regarding Vilma previously. Roger Goodell’s earlier suspension decision on Gregg Williams, to suspend him indefinitely, with the amount determined by factors (helping the NFL?) is a bad look. Of course, Williams has incentive to say things, deflect blame, and come in and sign whatever affidavit the NFL sets in front of him.

The other revelation out of the Vilma hearings is that former assistant Mike Cerullo is identified as a whistleblower in the Vilma lawsuit, and according to Vilma’s attorney, his affidavit contradicts Gregg Williams on Williams’ role in a Favre bounty.
