Who's gonna play QB for the Broncos?

Brinson's words, not mine, but apparently there's more to the story.

The problem with that is that per the league's agreement with the NFLPA this season, any games forfeited mean that the players for both teams lose their game checks.

That'd be a pretty tough sell to your players.

If I was a billionaire owner, I'd pay them their checks anyway. But, that is the definition of "fug you" money.

The Ravens can't do this because they are in a playoff race but it would kind of be funny to see the Broncos say, "Oh yeah, well we forfeit the game. Good luck paying the advertising/TV revenue back."

Apparently the players don't get paid if they don't play the game. 

Neither side - it's one of the NFLPA rules.

The Saints actively and widely broke a rule and were dumb enough to broadcast it on social media. The Broncos had to admit that they broke a rule and then followed NFL protocol. That's why the Broncos probably won't get any real ramifications(other than starting a Taysom Hill-esque QB) while the Saints lost a draft pick. Same reason Oakland got slapped around, because they kept breaking the rule and in open view of the public.

Doesn’t sound like it...

PFT: Broncos’ quarterbacks were not cooperative with contact tracing

Quote

Mark Maske of the Washington Post reports that the Broncos’ quarterbacks were not forthcoming when dealing with contact tracers for NFL and NFL Players Association.

All four quarterbacks failed to wear masks in meetings, according to multiple reports, which is a violation of league rules. And the report also indicates that once Driskel tested positive, the other three quarterbacks weren’t cooperative when contact tracing attempted to establish who might have caught the coronavirus from Driskel.

The NFL could discipline both the team and the players for violating the COVID-19 guidelines. Without any quarterbacks available, today the Broncos plan to start practice squad receiver Kendall Hinton at quarterback.

 

Combine that on top of the Broncos already being fined earlier this season for Fangio not wearing his mask on the sideline and that makes them 3-time offenders. We’ll find out by December 19th/20th on what draft pick they’ll be losing.

You mean those opinions you tout as “facts”, yeah.

If they really weren't cooperating with the NFL during contact tracing, then they will get swatted like the Raiders and Saints did.

[Mr. Scot]

Brinson also mentioned something about the Saints being fined a draft pick.

Hadn't heard that.

I'm in a pool to start the 3rd quarter.

That’s what I’m thinking. Ours was just about 3 weeks ago so I figured we’ll know about the Broncos by Week 15.

Eh, just a 7th from the locker room ordeal after kicking Brady’s walker out from under him.

Normally I might agree with your take on the 7th rounder but probably no team in the NFL needs cheap draft picks more than the Saints and what they have coming next year with trying to get under the cap. Losing a 6th and 7th rounder will hurt because those guys will be making substantially less than a veteran and potentially less than a UDFA(depending on the contract).

Objectively speaking though, a locker room celebration is a dumb reason to lose a draft pick.
