Once a cheater, always a cheater

The Baltimore Ravens will be investigated for using full pads at a recent rookie minicamp, which is a violation of the collective bargaining agreement, a league source said.
A Ravens official said the team is unaware of any investigation but explained there was a five-minute period on May 6 when rookies and first-year players suited up in pads during a non-contact punt protection drill. The team believed rookie minicamp didn't fall under the same rules as the organized team activities and immediately pulled players off the field once it received clarification from players' union representative Benjamin Watson, according to a Ravens official.
Teams are not allowed to suit up in full pads until training camp. Offseason rules have become more strict since 2011, when the latest CBA was passed.
For an investigation to begin, a player has to report a violation to the union or league. A Ravens official said everything can be verified because all practices were taped.
In 2010, the Ravens were disciplined by the NFL after six players complained to the players' union about late meetings and two others reported being held too long on the field after practice. Baltimore had to cancel the final week of offseason workouts.

Not surprised they are cheating. They whine and bltch like babies for rules violations by other teams, then when they get busted try to just blow it off. Ozzie Newsome may be out before too long. They have been falling behind the division as far as talent. Seems his scouting luck has run out.

Blowing a first rounder on a WR who can't get healthy isn't helping.

This seems a little silly dont you think? I really dont see it as a big deal, but I'm sure the NFL will get in there and make a big fuss just like they do with everything.

Since the Ravens are repeat offenders, I expect the NFL will strip multiple draft picks, fine them millions, and suspend Joe Flacco four games.

 

Wait, that last bit might actually help.

One could argue Newsome's luck ran out 6 years ago. That was when he acquired Boldin who was the missing piece of a SB run for an extremely old team.
