Interesting.

I guess Acho and Wiley will soon have a show apologizing? They basically got on the air and called Flores (former HC) a bald face liar 3 days straight.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

I wonder if there will be any ramifications for SP ?

Nope. The tampering rule only applies to the franchise ownership.

NFL ANTI-TAMPERING POLICY

1. DEFINITION. The term tampering, as used within the National Football League, refers to any interference by a member club with the employer-employee relationship of another club or any attempt by a club to impermissibly induce a person to seek employment with that club or with the NFL.

2. PURPOSE. The purpose of the NFL Anti-Tampering Policy, as it applies to tampering with players, is to protect member clubs’ contract and negotiating rights, and, at the same time, to allow the intra-League competitive systems devised for the acquisition and retention of player talent (e.g., college draft, waiver system, free-agent rules under an operative collective bargaining agreement) to operate efficiently. As the Policy applies to tampering with non-players, its purpose is to strike a balance between protecting the rights and maintaining the organizational stability of employer clubs, and providing realistic advancement opportunities for employees if other clubs desire their services.

So, Miami interferes with the Saints coach…the Saints coach surprisingly quits…Miami loses draft picks…seems like those draft picks should go to the Saints for interfering with their coach and enticing him to quit.

Payton had been seriously considering retirement well before the Dolphins ever even spoke to his agent. Good try though.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

So what if he had been. It’s still the tampering that could have pushed him over

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

Sure, Boston. Sure.

You’re still being the biggest A$$ you can be I see Guido.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

I see you're still name calling. Sad.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

No one here knows what Payton's intentions were during the season.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

That new HC for the Fins is already handcuffed (loss of draft picks) to start.

Hopefully, he went in and negotiated new terms.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

This is true. But we do know that Jay Glazer, a very close friend of Payton's, said that he was getting indications from Payton that he was burned out from the COVID stress prior to the 2021 season and doubled down on that immediately after the season (January 24th) saying that he was hearing from Payton that he may step away.

Re: Miami Owner Suspended; Docked Draft Picks
 

Imagine what it would be like for a team that is able to convince the Saints to release him from his contract. Payton would be coming into a situation where the team is missing up to the next three first round picks. Talk about handcuffed.
