Member Of Dolphins Thrown Under Bus As ‘Main Point Of Contact’ In Tom Brady Talks

The Miami Dolphins and owner Stephen Ross find themselves in a lot of trouble following an investigation into their tampering with Tom Brady this offseason.

Today, the league revealed that the Dolphins had “impermissible communications” with Tom Brady in 2019 and 2021. Therefore, Ross has been suspended, and the Dolphins will lose a key draft pick.

Following the monster report, it was revealed that Dolphins minority owner, Bruce Beal, was the “main point of contact” with Tom Brady.

As a result, Beal will be fined $500,000 and won’t be allowed to attend a league meeting for the rest of the year.

Dolphins minority owner Bruce Beal was fined $500K and banned from NFL meetings for the rest of 2022. A succession plan giving Beal first right to buy the team if Stephen Ross passes or sells was approved by owners in 2016.

Beal was the main point of contact with Tom Brady.

It’s hard not to look at Bruce Beal as a scapegoat in this, especially considering that Stephen Ross was well aware that his team was tampering in order to try and land Tom Brady.

But still, the minority owner had to know what he was doing was against league rules, as well.

Now, the Dolphins find themselves stuck without some crucial picks, and they couldn’t even land Tom Brady.

Hope it was worth it.
