I'm not sure what's to investigate.

As I understand the rules, players are free to agree to terms. They just can't sign on the dotted line until after 4pm tomorrow.

I thought letting them get the deals in place ahead of time was what this whole 'legal tampering' period was all about.

Per Adam Shefter. League is investigating these pre free agancy deals and punishment will be handed out accordingly. What actually are the rules and will it effect our two FA signings?

Not sure the exact rules, but it won't effect our signings.  Oher and Ginn were cut, and could have been signed the same day it happened.

From what I've read the league is mad that deals are already being announced.

 

But like I said, it's not their fault.

Miami and Philly could lose draft picks.  Probably more teams should get the magnifying glass treatment.

 

If you are going to have a rule, you have to enforce it.  Both Miami and Philly were clearly negotiating with Suh and Maxwell

 

That is allowed.

Clubs were advised in PP-26-13 that during the three-day negotiating period for prospective Unrestricted Free Agents, they are permitted to contact, and enter into contract negotiations with, the certified agents of players who will become Unrestricted Free Agents upon the expiration of their...Contract

 

...................

 

Clubs are further advised that prior to the beginning of the new League Year it is impermissible for a club to enter into an agreement of any kind, express or implied, oral or written, or promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent or understandings of any kind concerning the terms or conditions of employment offered to, or to be offered to, any prospective Unrestricted Free Agent for inclusion in a Player Contract after the start of the new League Year. Any announcement of an agreement or an agreement in principle by a club or another party, including, but not limited to, a certified agent, player, or media organization may subject the club to a tampering investigation.

 

^^^^^^

 

It's not supposed to be a "done deal" and/or announced. Teams are getting boned because agents and reporters can't keep their mouths shut.

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
