Under the current collective bargaining agreement with the Players' union, Tagliabue is only allowed to take away a team's No. 2 draft choice for salary cap violations. The parties involved also could be fined and suspended. Tagliabue has said he'd like increased power to take away multiple first-round choices to discourage teams from breaking the rules. They could have one of the top five, six picks in the draft. You must penalize the 49ers, but you also have to look at Clark and Policy now with Cleveland.
People sometimes can be jealous of other people, especially ones who have been able to win.
But it remains to be seen as to what the findings are going to be. Several owners claim other teams have violated the salary cap. Most notably, Oakland Raiders' owner Al Davis has leveled charges against the Denver Broncos as well as the Niners. Davis says, because these teams have broken the rules, they should be suspended. So what happens in the Niners case, could have ramifications around the league.
