Goodell can do whatever he wants...he is in charge.

He does what the owners want.

They all likely have skeletons in their closet.

More frightening is what he’ll do with future 1st picks.  He’s got a past of trading when he hasn’t got a pick.

Pretty sure if the sale hasn't gone through by the draft there will be no trades.

So does this mean possibly team may not get sold.

Depending on who knew what, this has the potential to cost more people their jobs. My question is what did Tina know? Former top cat. Been with the org for 19 years. You telling me she didn’t know or wasnt a victim herself? Either way she’ll have to explain her lack of action.

But, that's often the issue with cases like this:  who is willing to talk and who has something to gain in doing so?  Becker, even if subjected to similar harrassment, isn't likely to want to discuss it at this point.  She is vested in her career and the organization, and is in a great position...  why would she want to discuss the past?  She has nothing to gain...  only something to lose.

Won't effect the sale. But if the NFL finds wrong doing they could take draft picks.

It just started. Who thought it was ending?

Well for one, probably Jerry Richardson.

Richardson's decision will likely end NFL investigation

Quote

Chances are that the investigation will not proceed. Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL’s decision to take contract of the investigation sparked multiple conversations that prompted Richardson to decide to voluntarily end his ownership of the team, avoiding the various potential issues that could arise from an investigation and, possibly, an effort to involuntarily end his ownership of the team. With Richardson deciding to sell, the league likely will be standing down.

More than one reporter believed that Richardson stepped down without a fight to avoid any further embarrassment.

Oops.

Now granted, the NFL could decide to softball their investigation.  But if they don't...

Sheesh is it time for a special council yet? 

[Biscuit]

I'm pretty sure they are just trying to suss out if this is a systemic problem throughout the organization and who if anyone else needs to be booted out of the front office.  They really can't do anything further to Jerry..

Probably a lot depends on how many people know.

Say you know something, and somebody else also knows.  You don't talk, but they do.  You're screwed. And that fear loosens a lotta lips.

Given that the article detailing the investigation quoted several unnamed employees...yeah.

They find evidence other officials knew and we could conceivably be looking at a total housecleaning.

To him?  No.

To anyone else who knew?  Yeah.

As mentioned, the NFL could just do some cursory interviews to make it look like they've done something and walk away.  They could also decide that in today's political climate, not going after this aggressively would be a huge mistake.

We'll see, but either way it wouldn't surprise me if there are some nervous people over at Bank of America stadium.

Admin is in place.  Business will conduct as usual.

not all that different from a usual hurney draft i suppose

It is an actual possibility.

One of the requirements of the Person Conduct Policy is that all non-disclosure agreements have to be reported to the league.  We've failed to report four of them.

So yeah, it could happen.

[bigdog10]

I’d honestly be shocked if we aren’t docked draft picks for this. Evidently Richardson’s reputation was no secret over there.  

Anything that harms the image of the shield is usually met with some very strict punishment (bountygate, deflategate)
