Dolphins lose draft picks for tampering violations, starting with then-Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2019

The NFL announced the findings of its investigation into the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, and they did not look pretty for the organization. The team and its owner, Stephen Ross, have been found guilty of tampering with quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Sean Payton in an attempt to get both of them to join the team.

As a result, the team has been stripped of two draft picks. It will lose its first-round selection in 2023, as well as a third-rounder in 2024. Additionally, Ross has been suspended until mid-October and will have to pay a $1.
