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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
