Told ya we wouldn't lose a draft pick.

The #Packers have been fined $300k following the NFL’s review of their COVID-19 protocols, as well as @RobDemovsky said. The league reviewed press conference and substantial video from within the team facility.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Allen Lazard we’re fined $14,650 each for attending a massless Halloween party. The party wasn’t sanctioned by the team but the league determined the club should have penalized both players.

And finally, there were a few instances of Rodgers and Lazard not wearing a mask inside the facility but the league found the team was otherwise compliant. No widespread or systemic mask-wearing violations, source says.

Thread: Can confirm the league has fined the Green Bay Packers $300,000 for non-compliance with COVID-19 protocols. League has fined Aaron Rodgers and Allen Lazard $14,650 each for attending the Halloween party while being unvaccinated.

Jonathan Jones@jjones9·5m The NFL made it clear to the Packers future violations could result in greater punishment, which includes not only a loss in draft picks but a change in draft position.

Jonathan Jones @jjones9·3m The league reviewed video supplied by the Packers. There were "a few isolated" instances of Aaron Rodgers and Allen Lazard maskless inside the facilities (outside of the press conferences) but otherwise the league felt the team and players were "substantially compliant."

Jonathan Jones @jjones9 The $300k fine from the league also includes a fine for the Halloween party. Though the Packers didn't sanction the party, they were aware of it after the fact and didn't discipline or report Rodgers or Lazard to the league for violating protocols.

Jonathan Jones @jjones9·1m The NFL completed its review today and reported the fines to the team this evening. At this time that appears to be the extent of the punishment for the Packers and Rodgers. I would not expect maskless, in-person press conferences moving forward if/until he's vaxxed.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
