Suspension
In my opinion, the NFL’s investigation should be about finding out whether they did enough to communicate that they didn’t want any gatherings to take place and if they have hard evidence that they did that.

Option 3: Both the Titans coaches and the Titans players knew about the NFL’s rules and they agreed to disobey anyway. It may seem like this should be both parties being suspended, but I actually lean towards suspending Vrabel considering it should be his responsibility to stop this and enforce what the NFL is asking the team to do.
The Titans roster is dangerously thin already, so a few suspensions might be as close to forcing losses on the Titans as you can get without technically forcing them to forfeit games. Speaking of…
