Have you seen this story? I know Florio can be an idiot but it’s interesting. This could shake things up in the draft. 
 

 

 

I seriously doubt the investigation would be wrapped up in the next 2 weeks and even more so result in a 1st round top 10 draft pick flop. I give Florio credit for stirring it up and getting clicks.

Hmm. If Minn gets to #8 maybe they can wait it out a bit but the Giants remain a risk!

That’s my thought. It could certainly shake things up though. It raises the cost for Denver or Raiders to go up.

I understand punishing a team that tampers but has there ever been a reward for a team that was tampered against like this?  Seems very arbitrary to me.

Yeah, they usually fine the teams or remove draft picks. I've never heard of a pick swap.

It happened last year, though not with a first round pick swap. More or less the teams agreed to it in a "settle out of court" style agreement.

 

That said not sure that we see a swap of first rounders. Mid to late round swap could potentially happen, though IMO

I personally prefer the rumour of the Chargers trading Herbert to the Vikings and taking JJ … maybe Florio needs to combine the two for a bit more extra  drama … “Chargers tell Vikings to move into Top 10 for Herbert “

I think it's hilarious to go after this and pursue sanctions. Dude should have every right to see who he wants to medically. Also, they're stupid for not doing it outside the full scope of football.

Maybe what they are saying is if Atlanta agrees to this, Minn will drop the accusation?

The Bills should get compensation too.  Sources tell me they were going to sign Kirk to a vet minimum deal to be Josh's backup, and since that didn't happen the Bills were clearly harmed.

There shouldn't be any swapping of picks.  IF there is punishment they will take picks from Atlanta.

Maybe, but they could make the point that the tampering wasn’t just a violation of the rules but damaging to the Vikings. It’s like a civil case as opposed to a criminal case. I’m not sure anything happens but interesting nonetheless.
