Seahawks Only Lose 5th Round Draft Pick

[BucciMane]

These three time repeat offenders have somehow only been docked a 5th round draft pick for another off-season violation. Absolutely disgusting from Goodell and the NFL. So much for "integrity".

They should have been docked at least a first round pick, and the Ravens got away with the same garbage, but that's no surprise as their owner along with the NYJFL front office are in bed with Goodell and his cronies.

The Seattle Seahawks and coach Pete Carroll were fined by the NFL, the league announced Monday. Seattle will forfeit its 2017 fifth-round draft choice due to violating the NFL's rule against "on-field physical contact" during an organized team activity in June.

The Seahawks were fined $400,000, and Carroll was fined $200,000. The Seahawks will also forfeit their first week of OTAs (covering three days) in 2017. Seahawks players will be paid for the canceled sessions, the NFL announced.

The violation occurred from an OTA session on June 6. The NFL and NFLPA independently reviewed on-field video of the practice before agreeing that the Seahawks violated the "no-contact" rule.

Monday's discipline is the third time Carroll and the Seahawks have been penalized for breaking the "no-contact" rules. In 2014, the Seahawks were fined $300,000 and lost practice time the following year for violating the rule during a mandatory minicamp. In 2012, Carroll and the Seahawks were fined an undisclosed amount and forfeited two OTAs the following season for violating the rule.

The only incident the Patriots had was Spygate which people still don't even understand. They were fine a first-round draft pick and more than half-a-million dollars for a first offense for a rule that was changed that off-season. Meanwhile the Seahawks are repeat offenders of the highest order and are only find a fifth round draft pick.

No balls were deflated and video taping has been, and still is legal.. That's not the reason they were fined.

The location where you were able to film from changed that off season. They were fined, excessively, and moved on.

Meanwhile, the Seachickens get caught for the third time for practice and contact violations and only get docked a 5th round pick.

Seahawks players must be ecstatic that they don't have to report to OTA's next year, and get paid.

In June tho? with training camp on the horizon... if i was a seahawks player i would be upset we were out there hitting when it was against the rules. I would be trying to minimize all the contact i took before the real season begins.

If the players complained, fine.
