The NFL says the Miami Dolphins and team owner Stephen Ross violated the "integrity of the game" numerous times since 2019, from repeatedly contacting Tom Brady when he was under contract elsewhere to Ross suggesting during the 2019 season that the team should lose games to help its draft position.
As punishment, the NFL hit Ross with a $1.5 million fine and suspended him through Oct. 17 — the day after the Dolphins play their sixth game of the upcoming season.
