He may want to stick it to the Packers one more time. That's a lot of money he'd be coughing up in state taxes as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Can somebody remind me how this acutally works? The way I understand it today at noon ET (i.e. in 3 hours) teams can START contacting agents, so normally it would take at least couple of hours to get any deal done, so there should be news in the evening at best. However, IIRC there are some news almost immediately, right? If that is the case, is this something what NFL tolerates and there are unofficial talks all the time, so they just need to wait until today noon to announce agreements?

By saying things like what do you expect your client to want, or hypothetically if we offered such and such money would your client be interested come free agency. By now I bet most the big name free agents already got their teams lined up outside of the few that want to make visits first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) It might be "legal" to tamper but the actual tampering has been going on since the end of the season. How else do these players agree to contracts at like 12:01am on the start of free agency?? I am supposed to believe that they came up with the contract over the course of 2 days? Please.

Since Covid hit most guys don't do the visit thing or if they do it seems more hush hush as I don't remember Von coming in for a visit instead we just talked to his agent and got a deal done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.......what some don't understand is that the only way to prevent tampering is to not allow agents to talk to GM's. They talk all the time. Deals have been getting negotiated since the end of the season. Since every team does it, there is an unwritten understanding. The only time that it's a problem is when a player is under contract. Stephen Ross obviously thought wining and dining DeShaun and Brady were covered by the code. They were not. Teams are ok with free agent discussions but not outright negotiating with their under contract players without their permission a year before they are even eligible for UFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Bills are in rebuild mode. They should stay the course and keep relatively quiet until the second wave. Maybe dump a couple players for picks in the meantime. 1 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. Tampering is a constant in pro football, look at the Miami/Brady example, it is pretty humorous that some folk think it doesn’t happen with all teams and players, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
