Seahawks could be docked 2nd round pick

Recommended Posts

 

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports the Seahawks could be docked a second-round pick for failing to disclose Richard Sherman's MCL injury.

Yikes. Coach Pete Carroll has to be regretting trying to explain away Sherman's (slightly) down 2016 right about now. What the Seahawks did is blatantly against the rules, but a second-rounder would be an extraordinarily severe punishment. The Seahawks are no strangers to pushing boundaries, but there's not a team in the league that doesn't play injury report games. The Seahawks are already missing a 2017 fifth-rounder for illegal offseason practice activity.

I hate when they take picks. Just fine the fuck out of them. Upsets balance of the game to take picks.

Cheating upsets balance of the game too. Fining them does nothing.

How does failing to report an injury upset the balance of the game?

 

Also, here's a follow up tweet from Mortensen that clears things up a bit:

so the 2nd round pick wouldn't be just for failing to disclose the injury, but would include the OTA violation, so the steep penalty makes a bit more sense

Yeah I mean, it seems like over kill but I wouldn't be surprised if they continued to pull those shenanigans if they only got a fine. These teams make so much money and the owners are so rich that it would have to be a pretty damn big fine for it to even matter to them.
