The and were each fined $350,000, and the and were each fined $500,000 and were stripped of a draft pick; the Raiders lost a sixth-round pick and the Saints a seventh-rounder.Not losing a draft pick was huge for the Ravens, who currently have five selections in the 2021 draft. This would be Baltimore's fewest in 22 years. The Ravens are expected to get awarded one or two compensatory picks this offseason.The fine by the NFL is in addition to the discipline imposed by the Ravens, the source said. Baltimore suspended strength and conditioning coach Steve Saunders for not always wearing a mask and contact-tracing device in the facility. Saunders' 30-day suspension ended last week and he was on the field during warmups for Sunday's game against the Giants.Last month, the Ravens dealt with one of the biggest outbreaks in professional sports. Baltimore had at least one player test positive for 10 straight days and had two of its games rescheduled multiple times as a result.The Ravens placed a total of 23 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list from Nov. 23 to Dec. 2, including reigning NFL MVP , who tested positive for the coronavirus on Thanksgiving. The team was informed by the NFL that "at least four unique strains" of COVID-19 were found inside its facility during the outbreak.This led the Ravens' game against the Steelers to be postponed three times and their game against the Cowboys to be postponed twice."From the outset, we have taken the virus seriously, very seriously," Ravens president Dick Cass said in a statement earlier this month. "... Despite our best efforts, the protocol is only as effective as our weakest link. With a dangerous virus like this, everyone must comply with the protocol to avoid infecting many. We now know that not everyone at the Ravens followed the protocol thoroughly."The Ravens have had only a couple of positive tests since the outbreak. Baltimore currently has no players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.NFL Network first reported the Ravens' fine.
