Pete the cheat?

The Seattle Seahawks may lose their second-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft as a result of their failure to disclose a knee injury to Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman, league sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Teams most associated with cheating: Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, Steelers, Raiders. That is....a lot of Super Bowls right there. Brings to mind the old proverb "If you're not cheating, you're not trying".

The Colts have fired GM Ryan Grigson, but it seems Pagano is staying.
Adam Schefter ✔ @AdamSchefter
Colts have relieved GM Ryan Grigson of his duties, league source tells ESPN.
Ian Rapoport ✔ @RapSheet
As far as I can tell, the #Colts are only moving on from Ryan Grigson. No word on Chuck Pagano. (@AdamSchefter 1st reported Grigson news)

Now Tomlin and the Steelers are being investigated for cheating similar to the Seahawks.

Lynch was one of my favorite players so I hope he does well
I fully expect it to go horribly though. 6 years?

The current guy brought them to 2-14 with very little to look forward to next year. While I would like someone with some experience and a proven track record, it looks like they all turned down the job. They didn't seem to like an ownership situation where there is a culture of leaking to the press to undermine employees who have fallen out of favour. They didn't seem to like an ownership group that wanted to hire a coach and then find a GM to work with their choice. Overall it just seems like the best candidates didn't want an ownership group that is meddlesome and dysfunctional.
So the 49ers went with a curious pick. Maybe it will work, there's really no way to know for sure. What they had with Trent Baalke wasn't working. But Jed sure does love his national media guys.

There's a big difference between not disclosing an injury and video taping teams practices and purposely deflating footballs. I'm sure most teams bend the rules frequently, but New England takes cheating to a new level. There's a reason the entire group of NFL owners wanted to make an example out of them with Brady.

The Oakland Raiders' bid to relocate to Las Vegas has hit another financial roadblock that could put the team's planned move to the desert in jeopardy, a source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
With billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson angrily withdrawing from the Raiders' stadium deal on Monday, investment bank Goldman Sachs is also re-evaluating its relationship with the planned deal, a source close to the negotiations told Shelburne.

Actually it sounds like the Raiders to Vegas is close to being dead unless Mark Davis wants to pay for it all. Sounds like the $700 million from Nevada is slipping away, and once that's gone so is the move most likely.

"If [Adelson] doesn't think it will pencil out for him, it won't pencil out for Goldman Sachs or anybody else that thinks they want to step up to it," Clark County commissioner Chris Giunchigliani told the San Jose Mercury News. "I hate to say it, some of my concerns are starting to bear out. I don't think Mr. Davis cared about either community, ours or Oakland. He's using us against each other."

Mark Davis is in over his head on this one. Everyone is looking to get an ownership share because they know he can't afford to build, let alone operate, a stadium by himself. He thought he could cut Sheldon Adelson out, and somehow keep the Goldman Sachs money. Naivety at it's finest. I also think besides San Diego, San Antonio might also get involved now, if they can find some taxpayer money of course.
