to my knowledge, BleacherReport is the only source saying there are tapes.
uh, no

Rogers said that on Nov. 28, 2009, he and Cecil Newton followed each other out of Starkville, Miss., after the Ole Miss-Mississippi State game. He said Newton asked him: "What do you think is going to happen? You think it's going to go through?"
Rogers said he was referred to a Mississippi State booster named Bill Bell. Rogers said he left Bell a message telling him he was with Cecil Newton, who wanted to know if the deal was going to happen.
Now how exactly do you leave a message? On a tape. And no way in hell is Bell going to erase that, especially when his answer was "NO." He saved the message for self-prservation.
The FBI will have the tape this week. Slive and the Newtons will be copping pleas soon after.

The problem with this: The question is whether there are tapes of either of the Newtons asking for money or implying that money has been paid. A tape of Rogers leaving a message for Bell, while perhaps leading to other evidence down the line, is not the same as a tape of either of the Newtons. It is the existence of a tape of either of the Newtons making incriminating statements that is at issue, not a message from a third party to another third party. There is a difference.
That isn't to say the tapes don't exist, but so far there doesn't seem to be any confirmation by a reliable reporter or by public statement of anyone who actually knows.
