The Miami Dolphins have been stripped of a 2023 first-round draft pick and a third-round selection for 2024 in relation to the \u201cimpermissible communications with quarterback Tom Brady in 2019-20,\u201d the league announced Tuesday, while citing two separate occasions.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins, who had long been linked to Brady and Sean Payton as part of a possible quarterback-coach package for the organization, also are found to have had<\/a> \u201cimpermissible communications with both Mr. Brady and his agent during and after the 2021 season, while he was under contract to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.\u201d Further, the investigation noted that in January 2022, the team \u201chad impermissible communications with Don Yee, the agent for New Orleans Saints’ head coach Sean Payton, about having Mr. Payton serve as Miami’s head coach.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result of the violations, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has also been suspended through Oct. 17, 2022. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe investigators found tampering violations of unprecedented scope and severity,\u201d Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. \u201cI know of no prior instance of a team violating the prohibition on tampering with both a head coach and star player, to the potential detriment of multiple other clubs, over a period of several years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
