Vin+ 3,121 Posted March 23, 2011 The Lions have officially appealed the tampering violation verdict in the Jarrad Page case. Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to review the case. The Lions "firmly believe" there was no tampering, and Page's agent agrees. The original verdict would cost Detroit a seventh-round pick and a swap of fifth-round picks.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) probably wont make a difference but... Page’s agent told the Free Press last month neither he nor his client had any contact with anyone from the Lions in 2010, when the violations allegedly occurred.http://www.freep.com/article/20110322/SPORTS01/110322074/1049/rss14 I hope this plays a somewhat of a role in the NFL's final decision....

Vin+ 3,121 Posted March 31, 2011 Success, kind of. The NFL has reinstated the Lions' seventh-round pick that was forfeited in the Jarrad Page tampering case. The league must not have been all that convinced by the appeal, however, as they've opted to take away a 2012 seventh-rounder instead. Per PFT, if Detroit makes the playoffs, that pick upgrades to a sixth-rounder. The Lions must also swap fifth-round picks with the Chiefs.

Maverick 791 Posted March 31, 2011 ^I disagree with the ruling. It was either they were guilty or not, don't mediate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
