Breaking: NYJ fined $100,000 for Revis tampering

QuantumMechanic · Apr 28, 2015

From Mehta's twitter feed:

"League source: NFL fines Jets $100,000 in Revis tampering case. No docking of draft picks. Patriots not fined."

This league is f-ing pathetic. They don't even follow the Lance Briggs precedent.

No draft pick. Laughable.

Try to score triple digits vs. Indy, and when we win SB50, tell Goodell to F off on the stage.

I literally thought you were being a clown and starting this thread as a joke.

If true this is really mind boggling.

Froob · Apr 28, 2015

League has absolutely zero credibility. 49ers should be ****ing livid they got docked a pick for calling Briggs.

Darrelle Revis, $70.1M CB. What a joke.

Saying "I told you so" is really bad form so I'm not going to do that in this thread. I don't want to be so gauche as to say "I told you people dreaming of draft picks that this was only going to get a slap on the wrist".

So I'm just going to refrain from posting.

So the 9ers lose a 5th and swap 3rds for calling Rosenhaus behind closed doors, but Woody blatantly and publicly lobbies for a soon to be FA Revis, and he only gets $100,000 fine? and people think Pats fans are insecure with their persecution complex...unreal.

I never expected the Jets to get significant fine, but this is far, far less than I expected. I expected at least a mid to late round pick swap. I never expected much more unless they found hard evidence of contact between the Jets and Revis.

I never thought Johnson's comments were that big of a deal. I did think that if they could prove that they gave Manish Mehta the contract numbers or any contact between the Jets and Revis when they went to Jets' facility, then there would have been a big punishment.

they let woody go off easy because he's a blithering bufoon and felt sorry for him

There's all the proof you need that goody loves his jets. Rest of the league should be pissed.

The Gr8est · Apr 28, 2015

What about the Rats tampering charge against the Pats? Is there a resolution pending on that?

Patsfanin Philly · Apr 28, 2015

What a f'n joke. A textbook case of tampering (just read the NFL rule book) garners a $100K fine. They just set one very bad precedent... I guess the rules don't apply to a team when the commish used to work for you......

If I'm Mr. Kraft, I am beyond pi**ed and if the other shoe turns out to be ridiculous discipline against the Pats for deflategate, I hope he goes medieval on Goodell...

TBR · Apr 28, 2015

The fact they couldn't follow the precedent set by the Lance Briggs situation is pathetic

This was way worse in multiple ways. Yet a petty $100k fine (by NFL team standards) is an absolute joke

Maybe, as with Tripgate, the Rats were allowed to investigate themselves?

Wow. Not surprising but still pretty disheartening.

Well, at least we did win that Superbowl thingie....

If BB did something like this he would have been forced into the lead role in the real life movie of Castaway.
