NFL.com news: Former Redskin talks of $100 bonuses handed out by Joe Gibbs


Looks like Gibbs 1.0 was handing out cash himself for "big plays". Granted, it was under the rules at the time because there were no rules regarding this.


Quote:
"In the meeting after the game, Joe Gibbs would come in, he’d have a fistful of $100 bills," Starke told ESPN on Monday night, via The Washington Post. "And if Dexter (Manley) knocked the quarterback down three times, he would get three $100 bills. And Joe would pass the money out in the meeting, and we would have to duck."

Gibbs told the Post on Tuesday that such incentive-based pay was within NFL rules at the time.

"In my first stint coaching the Redskins, we did have an incentive program in place to recognize the guys for outstanding plays made within the rules of the game," Gibbs said. "Back then there was no salary cap and the incentive program we used was within the league rules. We had all kinds of incentives, including dinners at local restaurants, radios, the chance to sit in a La-Z-Boy recliner during team meetings and cash rewards. To be clear -- we only used rewards as a motivational tool and to recognize the guys who made positive plays in the game each week."
