Ex-Washington Football Team employees' letter brought to owners meeting, urges NFL to release investigation report
NEW YORK -- As the first in-person NFL league meetings since December 2019 kicked off, two former Washington Football Team employees arrived in the lobby of the Intercontinental New York Barclay hotel in midtown Manhattan with a stack of letters multiple pages long, asking for the findings of the report into the team's workplace misconduct be made public.
Addressed to members of the league's social justice committee -- Gayle Benson of the New Orleans Saints, Michael Bidwill of the Arizona Cardinals, Arthur Blank of the Atlanta Falcons, Jimmy Haslam of the Cleveland Browns and Shahid Khan of the Jacksonville Jaguars -- the letter urged the NFL to "make public the findings of the investigation into the Washington Football Team.
"While your working group was formed to address issues of racial justice in the league, you also have the ability to seek justice for the hundreds of women and men, such as us, who bravely came forward to share stories of harassment and abuse we experienced while employees of the WFT. The NFL should not be allowed to encourage employees to come forward at great personal and professional risk to speak to investigators, only to sweep the results of that investigation under the rug."
The league declined comment, saying that commissioner Roger Goodell would speak to the media over the course of the meetings.
"There are a lot of employees who are still scared and intimidated and threatened to come forward," said former WFT marketer and cheerleader Melanie Coburn, later adding that she was "shocked" that the report hasn't been made public.
"We deserve to be heard," Coburn said.
Earlier in the day, Sports Illustrated reported that the Washington Football Team investigation wasn't on the official agenda for the meetings but that it could come up in owners-only sessions.
Unlike other high-profile NFL investigations, such as Bountygate and Deflategate, there has been no written report of the findings from independent investigator Beth Wilkinson on harassment and cultural issues inside the Washington Football Team under owner Dan Snyder, only a series of oral reports.
Last week, two House Democrats sent a letter to Goodell demanding the league provide Congress with the results of the investigation. The letter, sent by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-New York), who is the chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) asked the league to turn over a number of documents and answer numerous questions involving the investigation by Nov. 4.
That letter came two weeks after leaked emails from the investigation led to Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden's resignation. His emails sent to then-WFT president Bruce Allen, a seven-year span when Gruden was employed by ESPN as the lead analyst for Monday Night Football, included racist, anti-gay and misogynistic language. The NFL Players Association has called on the NFL to release the 650,000 emails collected in the NFL's investigation.
Washington was fined $10 million on July 1 after the investigation concluded and Snyder's wife, Tanya Snyder, who is a co-CEO of the franchise, took over daily operations while Dan Snyder focused on securing a new stadium.

NFL's investigation into Washington Football Team won't be released, commissioner Roger Goodell says amid pressure
NEW YORK -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doubled down Tuesday on the league's decision not to make public the results of its investigation into the workplace culture at the Washington Football Team, saying the anonymity of the people who cooperated with the investigation was too high a priority to allow the league to do so.\
"We're very conscious of making sure we're protecting those who came forward," Goodell said after six hours of NFL owners meetings in midtown Manhattan. "That was a very high priority."
The investigation has come under fire again in recent weeks after some of the emails unearthed in the process became public, resulting in the resignation of Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden. In those emails, Gruden used racist, anti-gay and misogynistic language that the league has denounced. Calls to release more of the emails have been rejected.
"I do think he's been held accountable," Goodell said of Daniel Snyder. "More importantly, steps were put in place to make sure it doesn't happen again."\
Goodell also said the league looks forward to cooperating with a congressional inquiry into its investigation. Two members of the House oversight committee wrote the league last week saying they were seeking more information on the investigation into workplace misconduct with the Washington Football Team.

Green Bay Packers place Allen Lazard on reserve/COVID-19 list
Stephen A. Smith doesn't think the Packers have what it takes to beat the Cardinals without Davante Adams. (0:51)
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Packers put Allen Lazard on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, meaning the team could be without its top three wide receivers heading into Thursday's game against the unbeaten Arizona Cardinals.
The news about Lazard, who was added to the list as a close contact, comes one day after leading receiver Davante Adams landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Lazard by all indications is not vaccinated and will have to quarantine for five days, meaning he'll miss Thursday's game.
Unless Marquez Valdes-Scantling can come off injured reserve -- he's missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, but there's hope he can return this week -- the Packers could be without their top three wideouts vs. Arizona.
"There's a little bit of a shock factor for sure," Aaron Rodgers said about learning of Adams' test. "But we dealt with it last year. We're maybe slightly more healthy than some of the other teams as far as not having as many cases. But there have been cases here and we've dealt with them."
Veteran Randall Cobb, who returned to the Packers this season after a year in Dallas and a year in Houston, could be Rodgers' primary target against the Cardinals. Running back Aaron Jones is second on the team with 26 receptions.
The Packers did a little bit of good news in that receiver Malik Taylor, who has been on the COVID list since Oct. 15, was activated Tuesday. And Valdes-Scantling, according to coach Matt LaFleur, is "getting better and better" and "running every day."
"He's working hard to be back out there, and it's just going to be a matter of where he is on game day," LaFleur said.
The only way that Adams would be able to play in Thursday's game is if he's asymptomatic and has two negative tests 24 hours apart. He hasn't been forced to follow protocols for unvaccinated players, an indication that he is vaccinated.
The Packers are scheduled to leave for Phoenix on Wednesday, and Adams could not travel with the team without two negative tests. He could conceivably travel on the day of the game, however, if that's when he received the second negative test.
"I have talked to him," Rodgers said of Adams. "He seems to be health-wise doing OK. Obviously, he's disappointed."
Rodgers, who had hoped it would be a false positive test for Adams, on Tuesday said he was not concerned about his own COVID status, although he did not elaborate. Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry is also in COVID-19 protocols, meaning defensive backs coach Jerry Gray will call the defensive plays Thursday night.
Meanwhile, the Packers have managed to win all six games that Adams has missed over the past two seasons -- two last season and four in 2019.
Asked how they've gone 6-0 without him, LaFleur replied, "I think that's a great testament to the other players we have on this football team, being able to go out and do their job at a high level and go out there and execute. Certainly we're going to miss 17 -- he does a lot for this football team, brings a lot of leadership, obviously his playmaking ability -- but those are the circumstances that are dealt and our guys understand that the standards and expectations don't change."
Remarkably, Rodgers and the Packers have actually been more productive on offense without Adams for those six games than with him since the start of the 2019 season -- 32.8 points per game with him; 25.9 per game without. Other statistics that are better without Adams in the lineup: Rodgers' completion percentage (70% without compared to 66% with) and passing yards per game (311 vs. 247).
Rodgers has 17 touchdowns and one interception in those six games without Adams.
The Cardinals are acutely aware of Rodgers' success without Adams on the field, and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph recited the Packers' stats without Adams off the top of his head. Joseph pointed out that when quarterbacks like Rodgers don't have their star receiver, the responsibility to carry an offense falls on them.
"Sometimes it helps them to play an even cleaner game," Joseph said. "He's not forced to force the ball to Adams. And when you have a guy like Adams who's a volume pass catcher, you could kind of trap him into throwing the ball to Adams some. But without Adams, it's gonna force Aaron to play a true game and that's, sometimes, dangerous for us.
"But he's played his best ball without Adams. And again, not having Adams is not good for them, but it's gonna force Aaron to play a cleaner game. History shows you, he's played good and so we'll see how it works out [Thursday]."
Adams ranks third in the NFL with 744 receiving yards on 52 receptions, which is tied for second, but he has been kept relatively in check the last two weeks with 10 total catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
Still, Adams' receptions this season are twice as many as Jones and 37 more than Lazard (15), which is the largest gap between No. 1 and No. 2 receivers on a team in the NFL.
It's now on LaFleur, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and passing game coordinator Luke Getsy to somehow make a plan that works.
"We found out [about Adams] pretty early in the process, so certainly some of the stuff was already kind of planned for, but that's just -- you always have to have contingency plans, whether stuff happens in-game, where you have to pivot, and I think we have enough versatility within our offense to do that," LaFleur said.
While Cobb wasn't around for the six games without Adams in the lineup, it sounds like LaFleur and his staff may have mentioned the team's record without Adams a time or two.
"Yeah, yeah, we've heard, we've heard," Cobb said. "It's 6-0."

Seahawks Star DK Metcalf Called Out Over Foursome (Video) - Game 7
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf recorded 96 yards and one touchdown on two catches this past week in a loss versus the New Orleans Saints.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf recorded 96 yards and one touchdown on two catches this past week in a loss versus the New Orleans Saints.
It was an interesting effort that saw Metcalf completely embarrass Marshon Lattimore early in the game to the tune of an 84-yard score, only to then completely vanish for the rest of the outing.
That said, his on-the-field performance is not why Metcalf landed in the headlines on Wednesday.
Rather, it was because of some fairly salacious claims made by an OnlyFans model.
OnlyFans model Tori Lynn decided to call Metcalf out on Wednesday after he reportedly invited her over for a good time, only to then change his mind and tell her not to come through.
Shortly thereafter, she leaked the correspondence between them:
“I was trying to get these other girls for a foursome,” he seemingly told her.
It will be interesting to see if these most recent revelations impact Metcalf at all. Clearly he likes attention, so it’d doubtful that he will feel too bashful about what is being said.
i’m a big Brady fan so I probably would’ve gave the football back at the game too and wouldn’t even have been thinking about it being #600 and worth 500k
STOP ASKING THAT MAN STUPID ASS QUESTIONS
YUP. MIKE WASN'T HAVIN' THAT BULLSHIT FROM THEM CRAKKKAS. AND HE PUT THEM IN THEIR FUCKIN PLACE. DON'T ASK ME STUPID SHIT YOU NOT ASKIN THEM HONKIES!!!
I’m glad Mike Tomlin reacted like that, if he didn’t the “rumor” was going to continue to grow and cacs from media was going to asking about it everyday. I bet if he hadn’t added that last part about Andy Reid and Sean Payton another reporter would’ve asked him about it again
