Yahoo: NFL formally opens investigation into Redskins tampering of Haynesworth

[skinsfan69]

The evidence is Snyder was openly having dinner w/ AH's agent before FA started. I mean what else were they talking about? Everyone knows they talking contact/numbers. Let's not kid ourselves. I doubt anyone can prove what they were discussing but Snyder has to be smarter than that.

It's called plausible deniability. Haynesworth's agent represents at least one other player on the Redskins. Even though everyone knows exactly what that dinner was about, there's simply no way to prove it. Unless Snyder, the agent, or Haynesworth admits to it, or there is some kind of recorded phone call or email, this will go away.

In an ACTUAL case that involved tampering, the Miami Dolphins had to forfeit their first round draft pick the next year - - it did not go to the team who was the "tampering victim.


The object of the tampering? Coach Don Shula.


Shula was the head coach of the Colts when the Dolphins tampered with him - - according the an NFL investigation.


However, the "price" back then was the loss of a first round pick. That is not something trivial.

Speck represents Malcolm Kelly as well -- I mean we all know what it was about, but still.
