The Saints face league office discipline for violating COVID-19 security policies, according to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. This is the third such offense Sean Payton & Co., so the punishment is likely to be even greater. 
Between the two previous sanctions, the Saints have already been berthed for $ 750,000 plus the confiscation of a seventh-round selection. First, there was the lack of wearing masks in week 2. Then the saints were seen celebrating again without covers in the face of week 9. The last flag comes from an incident of end of season in which he ran back Alvin Kamara came in contact with a positive COVID-19 person at the team’s facilities. This person was not hired by the Saints, although non-team staff have been banned from entering this season.
When Kamara contracted the coronavirus, the timing couldn’t be worse. In Week 16 against the Vikings, he recorded six touchdowns on the ground, equaling a 91-year record. Forced to end the season, Kamara still finished the year with a maximum of 21 TDs in the NFL. Meanwhile, several other Saints RBs were forced to leave week 17, paying more attention to the Saints and their protocols.
The Saints project will have four or possibly five selections in the 202 draft. Currently, they only have their first, second and fourth round options. However, they are scheduled to receive a pair of third-round compensatory selections for recruitment. Terry Fontenot and losing Teddy Bridgewater. In the coming days, the saints could end up losing more of their reserve.
