In an ACTUAL case that involved tampering, the Miami Dolphins had to forfeit their first round draft pick the next year - - it did not go to the team who was the "tampering victim.


The object of the tampering? Coach Don Shula.


Shula was the head coach of the Colts when the Dolphins tampered with him - - according the an NFL investigation.


However, the "price" back then was the loss of a first round pick. That is not something trivial.
