NFL Rumors: League Comes Down Hard On Raiders For Violating COVID-19 Protocols

The NFL is not messing around.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the league has fined the Las Vegas Raiders $500,000, head coach Jon Gruden $150,000 and have taken away their sixth-round 2021 draft pick.

The hefty punishment comes after Las Vegas repeatedly violated the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols. The team already has been hit with fines before these ones.
