Apparently, the league never issued any discipline to Incognito, Pouncey or Jerry.

I believe that is correct. Yet, Wells issued a 144-page report, which is just a Google search away:

We're going to see what Ted Wells writes on this; I can virtually guarantee it.
Doubts expressed here about that reflect some of our butt hurt paranoia.

Not sure who you were responding to, but I was not suggesting that the Wells report would be withheld from the public. (Goodell has specificlly stated that it will be shared with the public.) I was suggesting that the report may be released before the league decides what to do.dcmissle said:
It was announced today that the Pats' visit to the White House is next Thursday. I cannot imagine the NFL will release the Wells report before then unless it completely exonerates the Pats. The draft is the following Thursday, so they're running out of time to take 2015 picks away if that's the plan.
It's almost more critical that they take the 2016 picks now. What if the Pats (or Colts, dreams do come true) trade 2016 picks to move up? Obviously it's not something the Pats do often, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
.
It would be pretty awesome if BB traded the entire 2016 draft before Goodell could take a pick.
I doubt it. I would think that since the White House visit is planned for next week, the NFL nor the administration would want to have a repeat of the media circus from after the AFC championship game...

I was feeling pretty qualified until I came across this in the job description...ifmanis5 said:
Meh, sounds like too much work.
It certainly suggests that someone (could be Wells, could be someone else) has told the league they need to get an actual experienced investigator involved, not the utter clowns who bungled the Rice and Ballghazi situations. Which is a positive sign for the NFL

From my reading of that job description, this position seems like it is for investigations of off-field Roethlisberger-style stuff, and not "game operations" or on-field misbehavior. Anyone else read it that way?
I mean, if the NFL REALLY wanted to settle this accurately, they'd wait until next season and just measure before and at halftime during a few weeks. Add that data set to the report, then we can have fun calling any team that plays in cold weather cheaters.
Nah. Wells took his time with the Incognito/Martin situation too. Does seem increasingly likely that his investigation spanned beyond the Patriots. In what respect I have no idea.soxhop411 said:
Is anyone else finding it really hard to not make a very inappropriate joke about the Nate Solder news in this thread?
Hmm, missed that game operations part.
On the Dan Patrick show they're thumbing through a book about this "scandal" that was was just released by someone. Apparently it focuses on all the things said by talking heads and reporters that turned out to be incorrect.
