michaelredd9 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Seems a bit harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Wonder if they'll appeal, considering the NFL said the punishment was light based on this being a "first offense" type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I wonder if Goodell now feels the need to be harsh on every rule violation in order to not be viewed as a hypocrite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud29 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Highly doubt the Chiefs were the only ones to do this, I seem to recall last year's FA period pretty much being over before it officially began. That said, it looks like we're pretty bad at cheating, and were the only ones to get caught. "Today we were informed by the National Football League that our club will be disciplined for an infraction during the 2015 free agency negotiating period."While we respect Commissioner Goodell and the process, we believe that the penalties proposed in this case are inconsistent with discipline enforced in similar matters – particularly given the league’s inconsistent communication of its policies on contact with potential free agents."As an organization, we take great care to conduct ourselves with integrity and operate within the guidelines of the NFL. We have been fully cooperative and transparent with the league in this matter, and we are disappointed with the league’s decision. I want to make it clear that I fully support the leadership of both Coach Reid and John Dorsey. We will continue to explore our options under the appeal process."
