The NFL has assigned an investigator to Jerry Richardson

[Mr. Scot]

Mary Jo White, the same investigator who nailed the Saints for the bounty program and helped investigate Ezekiel Elliott.

Kinda fet the feeling Jerry might be screwed here, and it's possible the chances of the Panthers losing a draft pick or some such might be higher too.

My feeling is that whatever the fallout may be it will be squarely on the shoulder of JR.  Although I would laugh if somehow Hurney gets caught up in this for hiding this from the league.

first Bountygate now Bonergate

I hope that it doesn't impact the Panthers Draft Picks. What JR is being accused of is a personal crime, not a team violation.

I don't know.  It's just a gut feeling, but I suspect somehow we're gonna wind up getting roasted before this is over.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

The NDAs are what could wind up getting the team punished.

Non-disclosure agreements are supposed to be reported to the league.  We apparently failed to report four of them.

Sigh

Added this for the last line.

NFL is making a mistake pursuing this further at all. Would've been long forgotten by everyone literally as soon as the new owner was confirmed. And has already pretty much been forgotten just because JR announced the sale. Doubt anything comes out of it affecting us. JR may have to pay a fine but I don't see it turning into much.

Maybe that might have been possible before #metoo.  Now?  Not so much.

The undisclosed NDAs are a problem.

Why are they appointing her? She's already bungled two high profile investigations. This is the league equivalent of the Panthers re-hiring Marty Hurney.

I always hate those stuff penalties and death penalties where it affects everyone but the offender. He’s already selling the team. Draft picks won’t hurt him. If anything take some of his money and ban him from the NFL.

Elliott and Payton both ended up serving suspensions.
