26CornerBlitz Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 @AdamSchefter Seattle may lose 2nd-round pick in 2017 draft as a result of season-long failure to disclose knee injury to Richard Sherman, per @mortreport
YoloinOhio Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Oh noooo. At least they actually have a first rounder this year.
dave mcbride Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 That is flat out ridiculous. Teams hide injuries for good reason - other teams target such players to exacerbate injuries. The NFL needs to wake up to the real problem, which is the latter, not the former. They're more worried about gambling spreads than the health of their players and always have been.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 So when donwe lose a pick for hiding Tyrods He was on the injury report.
MAJBobby Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) He was on the injury report. Once caught Reports well before that Edited January 19, 2017 by MAJBobby
dave mcbride Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) He was on the injury report. Robert Woods (torn groin) was NOT on the injury report for the Bills final game in 2015 against the Jets. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-news/2016/1/1/10698994/bills-jets-injury-report-2015-nfl-week-17-lesean-mccoy-nigel-bradham Edited January 19, 2017 by dave mcbride
snafu Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Stupid rule. The guy played all season. Opponents can see what's going on. If his injury was limiting him on the field, other teams would have seen it,

Too late to be sanctioned?
FireChan Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Their window is closing. Time for Russ to show he can carry the team even more and earn that paycheck. Drafting a handful of All-Pros and lucking into a All-Pro RB catches up to you when they approach 30 and get paid. Edited January 19, 2017 by FireChan

dave mcbride Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Interesting. Too late to be sanctioned? I would think so. The larger issue is that teams do this all the time up and down the roster partly to protect their players from targeting. If the league is going to target Seattle, perhaps it's because Sherman is a superstar and not liked by many. I can't think of any other reason, but perhaps there is one.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 to go to that level it would need to be repeated and drastic issues with reporting. normally it starts at a modest fine i believe. The Seahawks have violated offseason contact rules too and this may be the culmination of the NFL having had enough of them in that regard.
dave mcbride Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 The Seahawks have violated offseason contact rules too and this may be the culmination of the NFL having had enough of them in that regard. That would make sense. That said, this particular violation goes on all of the time. If the league ever wonders why, they should listen again to the recording of Gregg Williams' pre-game inspirational talk to the NO defense in 2011.

Yep this is ONLY because it involves a player that has been so outspoken about the league.
Fortunesmith Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Every other team has to follow the injury reporting rules, which are negotiated by both the players and owners in the CBA. Seahawks blatantly broke the rule and publicly admitted doing so. Punishment well deserved.
