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.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
