Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio strongly expressed his displeasure with the NFL's decision to only fine and dock the Atlanta Falcons a fifth-round pick for tampering allegations.
. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported the league is taking away that draft pick as punishment for "improper contact" with unrestricted free agents Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney and Charlie Woerner this offseason.
But Florio argued that based on logic, common sense and precedent, the league's punishment didn't met the Falcons' crime. "Two years ago, the Dolphins lost a first-round pick and a third-round pick for tampering with Sean Payton and Tom Brady, and Miami ultimately employed neither guy." But Florio can't be viewed as a completely objective reporter with this story either. Florio is a self-proclaimed Minnesota Vikings fan and could be simply upset his team lost its Pro Bowl starting quarterback in free agency.
