And that is exactly what the Miami Dolphins faced. The NFL snatched a first and third-round pick from the team. While also suspending and laying a penalty on the owner, Stephen Ross.
Also, the NFL suspended other executive members who were involved in the illegal process. The NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, said, “The investigators found tampering violations of unprecedented scope and severity. I know of no prior instance of a team violating the prohibition on tampering with both a head coach and star player, to the potential detriment of multiple other clubs, over a period of several years. Similarly, I know of no prior instance in which ownership was so directly involved in the violations.”
