taking a draft pick? that's a little extreme imo

It said they're considering it. I think the league is putting this out there to quell objection to whatever punishment they do end up handing down. Like, if they just do the fine, then fans will think the Steelers got lucky, even if the amount is too much.

It will probably be a late round draft pick I'm guessing which are almost always worthless anyways. I mean they'll be out roar because NFL fans fetishize draft picks for whatever reason but will basically amount to nothing I'm thinking

Had to look again because I didn't see Tomlin the first time. Too funny.

NFL just announced they weren't taking a draft pick away for what Tomlin did

Seemed a bit extreme to take a draft pick from the Steelers--I mean, yeah, punish Tomlin but the team as a whole shouldn't suffer for his insolence.

Pretty much what happened.
