What a surprise! NFL discussing possibly taking action on teams if they feel "gamed the system" in regards to compensatory picks (1 Viewer)

The thing is, how can you even prove intent in a case like this? (even though we are following the rules). Maybe we were thinking of drafting a certain QB and then signed Winston when we couldn't draft that person?

 

[AARPSaint]

Might as well go ahead and wait another week or two before officially signing Winston. Leak some BS about how the two can't work out the money, offset language, or some other irrelevant fluff. Then do the deal.

Exactly.

Just do away with the compensatory picks and add more rounds to the draft.

 

[St.Dan]

Can we just quarantine this guy away from the league?

While those sentiments are there on the surface, remember GODdell is only doing what the biggest-market owners want him to do. He's a lackey for the oligarchy that actually makes these shadowy decisions.

The beef between the saints and the NFL is so obvious

Just do away with the compensatory picks and add more rounds to the draft.

Agree 100%. They should stop rewarding teams for making the financial decisions to move on from players. It has led to teams "gaming" the system for year. There are 32 compensatory picks given out annually. They should just add an 8th round.

Let's make a list.

(1) Sudden-death overtime
(2) Kitty for good defensive plays equals "bounty system"
(3) "Gaming" the comp pick rules

What else?

Coaches being able to challenge P.I. lol

If the NFL wants to change the rule the fair method would be to do it after this offseason so that all teams will be aware of it and it's consequences prior to making decisions on when to sign free agents.

We're the reason you can't dunk on the goalpost. And I think Mike Thomas is why you can't use props.

Let's make a list.

(1) Sudden-death overtime
(2) Kitty for good defensive plays equals "bounty system"
(3) "Gaming" the comp pick rules
(4) No dunking on the goalpost.
(5) Mike Thomas (or Joe Horn?) is why you can't use props.
(6) Coach challenge on Pass Interference

Anything else?

 

[Taker597]

So stupid. Change the rules and don’t have a deadline if you don’t like how teams are playing by the rules YOU set.

But they can't reward the legacy teams as they see fit.

 

[SaintSeb]

Yet some will still say the NFL isn't slanted against the Saints

Anything else?

It was Joe Horn, but I think the rule was in place when he did his cell phone thing. CGM did his stunt as a tribute to Horn.

Slam dunking the goal post!

The Tom Dempsey rule!
