Roger Goodell Says He Doesn't Believe NFL Teams Intentionally Tank

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't believe the league has a problem with teams "tanking" for future draft position.

"I don't think any team tanks, I really don't," Goodell said Monday, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.

The discussion interestingly came at the New York Jets training camp, an organization that parted with several notable veterans from last season who were still contributing on the field.

After releasing starters Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Darrelle Revis, David Harris and others, even those still on the roster see signs of the organization's plans.

"It's hard to argue [with] that when everybody else sees all the stuff that's going on," receiver Quincy Enunwa previously said of the team tanking, per Zach Braziller of the New York Post.
