So what does this mean for BB?
 

A bribe to tank and tampering are you kidding me? How was this not severely punished by the league?
 
“134. After the end of the 2019 season, Mr. Ross began to pressure Mr. Flores to recruit
a prominent quarterback in violation of League tampering rules. Mr. Flores repeatedly refused to
comply with these improper directives. Undeterred, in the winter of 2020, Mr. Ross invited Mr.
Flores onto a yacht for lunch. Shortly after he arrived, Mr. Ross told Mr. Flores that the
prominent quarterback was “conveniently” arriving at the marina. Obviously, Mr. Ross had
attempted to “set up” a purportedly impromptu meeting between Mr. Flores and the prominent
quarterback. Mr. Flores refused the meeting and left the yacht immediately. After the incident,
Mr. Flores was treated with disdain and held out as someone who was noncompliant and difficult
to work with”
 
Paragraph 15 of the complaint - Stephen Ross allegedly asked Flores to recruit a prominent QB in violation of hte league's tampering rules. Hmm, I wonder who that could be...from that point on he was ostracized by the Dolphins owner.
 
The $100k per loss to get a better draft pick is absolutely as bad as anything the Patriots have ever lost draft picks over. Take the Dolphins' first round pick and then some.
 
 
This is a big nothingburger for the Pats, but it's reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy bad for Miami.

Oh this has nothing to do with the Pats, Belichick can throw around as many recommendations to the Giants to hire Dabol over anyone else as he wants. It’s fine. It’s everything else that’s horribly bad. Like, really bad.
 
So what does this mean for BB?
Doesn't look like anything damning but I am no legal expert. It looks like Bill accidentally let the cat out of the bag that the NYG already hired Daboll before even interviewing Flores. Effectively making a mockery of the Rooney rule and wasting Flores's time.
