Again, there's obviously no tangible evidence to prove tampering, because Haynesworth signed with us. The reason the 49ers got hit with tampering is because once Lance Briggs re-upped with the Bears, they can interview him about events that occurred prior to him hitting free agency. Thus, hard evidence that contact between team and player occurred.

Short of getting an admission of wrongdoing by the Redskins from Haynesworth or Speck, you just have allegations of wrongdoing by Snyder. Haynesworth's paycheck is Speck's primary meal ticket as well, so good luck NFL getting anything more than a hunch of foul play here.
