An NFL investigation found that Williams, now defensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams, and as many as 27 Saints players were involved in the bounty system from 2009-2011.

“It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it,” Williams said in a statement released Friday. “Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry.”
