Just read a tweet that sort of makes some sense as a punishment for the obvious cheating. A cut into their salary cap.
Yes it would be massaged but a 10% reduction in cap for the next season or 2 would hurt more than draft picks. Fines dont matter to billionaires , short of suspending BB for a season ala Sean Peyton I dont see anything else being much more than a slap on the wrist.
It's not just the cheating it's also the orchestrated network to pass off blame. [Reply]

Problem is they've already tainted the season results because most likely they will receive a high playoff seed by benefiting from cheating. The NFL doesn't need to "investigate." the NFL has to know what a disaster this super bowl will be if these ass clowns are in it. [Reply]

A cut in 10 percent reduction in salary cap, loss of 2 first round picks and no playoffs for this year and 2 more years is what I would give them.
You're right though, a fine is just a joke to those millionaires. [Reply]

Let's hope. I wouldn't mind having a game against them where we get called for no penalties and they get called every time they come within 8 feet of Patrick Mahomes II. Let them get a taste of their own medicine.
And maybe allow us to put scouts in their practices.
Actually, a hilarious and fitting punishment would be that other teams can have a person present at every Patriots team meeting and practice for the next twenty years. [Reply]

A post season ban just messes too much up. Its college. You HAVE to do something that deters others. [Reply]

Agreed, the punishment this time has to knock it out of the park and then some. [Reply]

If belichick is tied up in this, and we all know he is, even a year long suspension is good enough. But let's start there too I doubt that will happen but you'd better believe new orleans is going to raise hell. [Reply]
