These will be the penalties for having an illegal lineup.
Option 1
Notice to team about illegal lineup
3 days after notice - 500k cap penalty - if team does not have 500k, forfeit of 5th round draft pick (or whatever pick is lowest) and penalty will be imposed the following year. If team does not have draft pick, we will look to see if team has any compensatory picks, if no picks at all, another 500k cap penalty will be imposed the following year.
7 days after notice - 1M cap penalty - if team does not have 1M cap, forfeit of 2nd round draft pick (if no 2nd, then will go to 1st compensatory or 1st round pick) and penalty will be imposed the following year. If team does not have any draft picks, another 1M cap penalty will be imposed the following year. Replacement of team will also be an option instead of penalties.
14 days after notice - Replacement of team
Option 2
Notice to team about illegal lineup
2 days after notice - 250k cap penalty - if team does not have 250k, forfeit of 4th round draft pick (or whatever pick is next lowest) and penalty will be imposed the following year. If team does not have draft pick, we will look to see if team has any compensatory picks, if no picks at all, another 250k penalty will be imposed the following year.
4 days after notice - 500k cap penalty - team will be required to get cap space for penalty
7 days after notice - 1M cap penalty - if team does not have cap, forfeit of highest draft pick and penalty will be imposed the following year. If team does not have draft pick, they will be required to get cap space for penalty. Replacement of team will also be an option.
14 days after notice - Replacement of team
Option 3
Notice to team about illegal lineup
2 days after notice - 250k penalty - team will be required to get cap space for penalty
3 days after notice - 500k penalty - team will be required to get cap space for penalty
4 days after notice - 500k penalty, forfeit of 3rd round draft pick (or whatever pick is next lowest) - team will be required to get cap space for penalty. If team does not have pick, we will look at compensatory picks. If not picks at all, team will lose 1 RFA tag the following off-season.
7 days after notice - 1M penalty, forfeit of 1st round pick - team will be required to get cap space for penalty. If no 1st round pick, team will lose franchise tag for the following off-season and will receive no compensatory picks for RFA tag. Replacement of team will also be an option.
14 days after notice - Replacement of team
In all these options the penalty does not add up. So in option 3 if they are 4 days late of fixing team, the penalty will be 500k (not 1.25M) cap penalty, forfeit of 3rd round pick.
When is says "or whatever pick is next lowest) it means if you were penalized a 4th round pick we will go to the 3rd round compensatory, then 3rd round, then 2nd round compensatory, then 2nd round, then 1st round compensatory, then 1st round.
If a team is replaced, all penalties will be reversed for new team.
