Does the fact that this involves multiple teams, but mostly under the direction of 1 coach mean that the punishment will be more on Williams(fines or suspensions) or still team based(fines and draft picks)?

People are expecting a Spygate-like punishment. If the Skins get fined the 2013 1st round draft pick, you can forget getting RG3. If the Skins quickly make the trade, before the punishment, the NFL may take the 2014 1st round pick. This means no 1st rounder 2 years in a row, plus and more picks we would give to the Rams.

This thing with Gregg Williams operating a bounty mission while in Washington was two head coaches and three defensive coordinators ago. Why would the Redskins, who are now operating from under an entirely different coaching regime be punished now for draft picks? That would unjust for Roger Goddell to hand out such a punishment. Mike Shanahan and Jim Haslett have nothing to do with that because they weren't coaching the Redskins from 2004-2007. If Joe Gibbs was still the coach now, I'd say the NFL commissioner would have reason to discipline the Redskins. Williams most recent team, the New Orleans Saints, may very well receive swift punishment namely because Sean Payton is still their head coach.
