Roger Goodell: Five NFL teams fined for violating dead period rules | National Football Post

Dolphins among teams investigated for illegal player contact
The Patriots are NOT one of the five teams Goodell was talking about that were fined for violating "no contact period" of offseason

This is lame, should at least let coaches contact players.

This gives those 5 teams an unfair advantage. Cough up those draft picks, second rounders! Or at least they have to pass until the end of the second round.

Only a second rounder? I would think this should be a one a 500 thousand dollar fine to the team and 250 to the coach.

If the Patriots were 1 of the 5 teams this would be a top story on ESPN, but since we are not, so no one has brought it up... Shocking

You two fools do not know how it works. No Belichick, no media. Goodell is media driven and E!spN decides the penalty.

This started as a joke, but I think I'm serious. Well not about calling you fools.

What the article should really say is 5 teams caught violating dead period 27 other not caught.

Five teams will be fined for violating the "dead" period, Commissioner Roger Goodell said. Although the New England Patriots are not one of the five teams, they will be penalized a first round pick "just to keep things fair."
