Cardinals Busted for Tampering with Gannon.

[Stout]

But again, it's a pic swap.. not a fine from the NFL or a strip of draft picks by the NFL, which we have seen.. just call up the Dolphins.

I am in no mood for mitigating the sheer stupid coming out of this front office. Take that positive spin elsewhere, please.

 

[Praxis]

Monti really screwed up. His finalists were still available after the Super Bowl and Gannon was of course going to pick up the phone for a head coaching opportunity.

 

[Proximo]

Oh that blows.

 

[Billy Bob]

Curious!

 

[unseenaz]

unreal.

I'm guessing he was an earlier favorite, but the cards couldn't do anything because he was in the playoffs and they had just hired their GM.. but I'm guessing maybe there was some intentional leaking of news or trying to facilitate conversation with gannon's agent. All just a guess.

But still, you can have contact, legally. So how didn't we? Completely inept.

In the end, how many picked before us? No way MB is smart enough to fake a Payton dalliance in order to try to skate on the league rules.

It's hard to believe that's tampering. Maybe it's some other rule and being called 'tampering' by the media as being a ballpark violation.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

 

[Cheesebeef]

And we’re going to trust this GM to
trade out of the spot where the generally regarded best player in the draft is to pick lower in what’s regarded as a bad draft?

 

[Dayman]

Well, at least Monti finally pulled off a trade.

By the time Monty was hired, the communication time with teams that were still in the playoffs was over, unless you had previously requested.

 

[Zeno]

Benjamin Albright was calling Gannon to the Cards for weeks before we hired him, word obviously leaked from somewhere if a radio guy from Denver was made aware.

Great, it wasn't a MB screwup, it was a new GM screwup.

This is such a joke. Such a sad freaking joke. We got rid of a drunk idiot for a sober idiot. Just great.

 

[HairZach]

Thats a potentially very good Guard/Center/DL that we just lost.

 

[Zalixar]

Thanks again Bidwill. G-T-F-O of Arizona.

 

[BigDavis75]

This ******* team, it’s unrelenting

What the holy hell Gannon better be worth it lol could mean we have a higher chance of trading back now to make up for it aka missing out on Will Anderson

 

[Cardinal]

"Self-reported" lol what a joke

What's the excuse? I didn't know it was illegal. What a bunch of idiots. Now we draft 31st in the 3rd.

 

[slanidrac16]

That 66th pick is sure to go to the Hall of Fame.

 

[Stout]

There's no defending this. I swear, a single MFer waltzes onto this thread and tries to defend this, the ban hammer should fall.

 

[Dr. Jones]

But yeah!!! BUY OUR NEW JERSEYS!!!!!

 

[KiwiCard]

Will anything go right.....

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So we didn't want to give up a pick for Sean Payton so we gave up a pick for a terrible hire
