- Dolphins lose first-round pick for tampering with Brady, Payton
- Six-month probe stemmed from Brian Flores discrimination suit
- Stephen Ross is suspended through 17 October and fined $1.5m
The NFL has suspended Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and fined him $1.5m for tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton following a six-month investigation stemming from Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit against the league.
The league’s investigation found the Dolphins did not intentionally lose games during the 2019 season but the team had impermissible communication with Brady and his and Payton’s agent, Don Yee. The league announced the findings of the investigation on Tuesday.
