The Dolphins had to forfeit their 1st round pick at #21


Apr 27, 2023, 10:45 PM

after a league investigation "into whether the team violated league policies pertaining to the integrity of the game". I missed that. What did they do? And maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges, but why was their integrity more of an issue than all the stuff Washington did?

I guess that's more of an issue than sexual harassment, assault, intimidation, and toxic culture by the team owner. Maybe since that's still an ongoing investigation. The Commanders had a first round pick at #16.

Also they may have lost games intentionally.

This is the answer for the most part.

Allegedlies, Ross offered them Coach Brian Flores $100K per loss to provide an incentive to lose games -- though, if you look at the roster that year, the fact that they won 5 games was a heckuva coaching job.

Is this the first time a team has lost draft picks for violating these rules? I don’t remember ever hearing about it before.

Draft picks that have been stripped from NFL teams since 1980
The Patriots on Monday became the first NFL team to have picks taken from them on three different occasions. Here's a historical look at each instance in which a team has had to forfeit picks since 1980.

Thanks. I was mainly referring to tampering and I see there were a couple of those in the last 10-15 years.

the tampering with Brady and Payton were the main drivers imho (and plenty sufficient to warrant a draft penalty).

The Flores thing, not sure that really contributed much to the penalty and not sure if ever proven.
