the “legal tampering” period is pointless.

it was said on the radio that the panthers reached out to Luvu after the burns trade but were told “he had already agreed to a deal.”

No, he hadn’t. The contract wasn’t signed. But these handshake agreements these teams are reaching with players are seemingly ironclad, and I cannot recall an example of a player agreeing to sign somewhere before being approached with a better deal and reneging on the deal in hand.

i get it, principally, if you agree to do something, it is honorable to do it. But it has completely defeated the point of the “legal tampering” window and effectively free agency just starts a little bit earlier than it did before, and the same teams that were cheating before are cheating now.

a proper “legal tampering” window should be nice and quiet, with teams negotiating over the course of the window. The news getting out should lead to the concern that your team may get one upped.

I don’t know the full details, but I do believe Kendricks just did that switching from an agreement with the 49ers to the Cowboys. I think what is likely happening is that most people have this inner code that they will not renege on a deal once they have agreed to it, whether it is official in writing or not. I say this as somebody who works in sales and sees it all the time. Also, they may worry about their reputation throughout the league for future deals.

That’s great but until it’s more commonplace then you’re gonna have a latent advantage for teams that tamper illegally versus teams that don’t. “Legal tampering wasn’t designed to combat tampering, it was acknowledging that you couldn’t fight it and you were forcing the idea of a fair opportunity 

also I think staying home isn’t quite the same.

      Falcons got Cousins and Penix

      By Waldo · Posted

      He is a QB, on a rookie deal and Cousins is old coming off an achilles injury. Which QB they got is the part that is highly debatable if it was good. Yeah they could have used that on more tallent but Cousins doesn't win in the postseason so it wouldn't matter anyways. Chances are good they take the NFCS regardless this year or it goes back to a Bucs team that just breaks .500.
