Steelers do indeed lose a late draft pick

[Jims_Doors]

Since the site isn't showing it.

Yes, $100,000 will come out of the paycheck of Steelers coach Mike Tomlin for his Thanksgiving sideline side step. But that’s not the end of the punishment.

While Peter King of TheMMQB.com said during Friday’s edition of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN that the Steelers will lose a draft pick only if the Ravens miss the playoffs due to the failure of Jacoby Jones to score a touchdown on the play with which Tomlin interfered, King has since advised PFT that he was incorrect.

A late-round draft pick will indeed be forfeited by the Steelers, regardless of whether the Ravens miss the playoffs. In the unlikely event that the tiebreaking process for the Ravens goes deep enough to consider net points and the Ravens miss the playoffs because the drive in question ended in a field goal and not a touchdown, the penalty will be enhanced.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports first reported that the Steelers will lose a late-round pick. As the league has announced, the specific penalty will be determined once the full draft order is finalized, which will happen after the postseason concludes — and after all compensatory picks are distributed.

I say warranted...Tomlin knew what he was doing.

Agreed, a total low rent move on his part, and then the lying after. Am glad they lost a draft pick also.

Meh... probably just a conditional late round pick anyways.

Plus, I have yet to find any substance to this. All I'm seeing are sites making claims which is all heresay at this point.

Lame. Bushleague move but the team didn't step on the field. If it changed the outcome maybe I could understand more but it didn't. He paid the fine, that should be enough.

Good!

Maybe now Raven fans can finally move on, he's never going to admit it was intentional.

Hush Belichick is the only coach that has ever cheated or broken a rule

 

[redseat]

I don't really think a draft pick taken away was neccessary! I can see iF the Steelers won then maybe... but no, just the fine should be enough.

Speaking as a Redskins Fan for a team that GOT Hosed by the league in form of a 36Mil cap hit for not engaging in Collusion like the other owners.....


I am glad to see that the Steelers are getting hit for a draft choice......Nice to see that 1 of the rocks of the NFL is not above reproach...

Had it been the Skins....would probably be looking at losing our 2nd rounder...but since it is Pitt......probably a 5th or 6th

PIT may be one of the old guard teams, but nobody has paid out more fines than the Steelers...I don't think the play warranted a draft pick, but it should set the tone going forward...stay out of the fucking way!!

6th round is probably what it will be...PIT is due to get 2 comp picks...probably a 3rd and a 5th for losing Wallace and Lewis...so not terrible if they only lose one 6th rounder.

The Steelers being fined is players for what the NFL Deems Illegal hits....Had they you know...played by the rules, and not tackled high or leading with their helmets, then they would not have been fined.....

Come on Steelers...Play by the rules!!!! i know...it is such a fine line evey team .....alot of players get fined......

Getting 2 comp picks will definetly offset that loss.....But the 1 they lose can't be 1 of those comp picks can it?


I agree the fine and loss of a pick was definetly setting a tone.....

I think the NFL has colored outside the line (somewhat of a moving target imo) in defining these new rules on hitting (which I'm all for btw) yet they were fining players as if the rules were long established...and in some cases just on reputation, but point well taken.

Doubtful the pick that gets yanked will be either of those comp picks...

I couldn't care less about the draft pick, but am more than happy with Sunday's karma. The Ravens certainly needed the return TD that Jacoby was robbed of the week before AND Brown's step out by an inch was priceless.

 

[eric5577x]

Late round pick. LOL....prob wont make the team anyways, no biggie. This was done just to keep the peace. No sense to take away a late rd pick. Does not hurt the team at all.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Yep... Won't hurt the team at all. Especially since we are all but guaranteed 2 compensatory picks (3rd & 5th?) for losing Wallace & Lewis.

Cram it up your cram hole Goodell!
