An attorney for suspended New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma said a ledger of cash bonuses and fines for Saints players shows no proof of bounties placed on targeted opponents.

Lawyer Peter Ginsberg said the leaking of the ledger shows how “misguided and irresponsible” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has been in handling the bounty probe.

People familiar with the ledger told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday that the document indicates payments for plays called “cart-offs” and “whacks.”

Ginsberg said the commissioner interviewed the person who kept the ledger, and knows that “the ‘whacks’ and ‘cart-offs,’ though regrettably named, were descriptions of good, clean, legal plays, and that any dirty or penalized play resulted in fines.”

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello had no comment on Ginsberg’s statement.

The NFL has not discussed the ledger in any of its official reports or public comments, but the document’s existence appears to support the league’s contention that the Saints operated an improper pay-for-performance program.
