Parcells could have torn up his contract this year.

It will never happen though because Snyder would be excluded from all football decisions. Snyder had this with Marty and he did not like it.

our only hope of having a well run front office is for snyder to no longer be owner of the team and snyders never gonna sell. perhaps our great-grandchildren will have a better owner.

Sorry Titans. Its to late. No way they prove this.

Well you should because this is what the titans said at yesterdays press conference, not PFT making this up

It doesn't sound like a very definitive statement from the Titans:

Quote:

In the press conference introducing newly-signed receiver Nate Washington and defensive tackle Jovan Haye, Titans G.M. Mike Reindfeldt fielded a question as to whether the Titans might pursue tampering allegations against the Redskins regarding the signing of defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.

“Yeah, I mean that’s something at some point that’s kind of . . . . We were interested in signing Albert,” Reinfeldt said. “We tried to sign him and unfortunately it didn’t work out. It’s always something we can address with the league, but at this point in time we’re more focused on the two gentlemen here today, quite honestly.”

PFT blew it up into something more than it is, and of course people are biting hard and running with it.

PFT has been banging the drum on this type of tampering for a long time. I guess he justs finds it ridiculous that the league has such stringent tampering rules most of the time and they essentially ignore them when it comes to FA at this time of year. I understand where he is coming from but it is annoying when he uses a mole hill to make a mountain. I don't mind the minor off hand refernces he makes to these types of situations but this one struck me as a overboard.

KLHJ2 · 03-03-2009, 10:50 PM

Tampering? Seriously? The guy had already made it obvious that he was a free agent. If you are already willing to leave your job for another, then you are a free agent. His contract was up and he was securing his financial future.

Tenn is not going to file tamperig charges because teams like Washington who have a stable fan base financially support small market teams like Tenn, Ind, Jax, Tampa, ect... To piss off the 1st or 2nd most profitable franchise in the NFL is not in their best interest. Especially with an uncapped year coming up. I believe that there will be no tampering charges placed.

Probably non-news, but worth a read I suppose. The bit about Malcolm Kelly becoming the next Andre Johnson was pretty funny.

I saw that article, but it doesn't really sound like any new developments, just the local tennessee newspaper kicking up dirt.

It would be nice to see one of last years pick just go all out this season.

Ha! Some of us a bit younger than lil Danny can reasonably hope to see the day he sells the team... i'm a jerk for gloating but i'd be a liar to not admit how much i look forward to that day.

So would you say you look forward more to the first SB won under Snyder, or the day he sells it?

SBXVII · 03-07-2009, 05:57 PM

I just hope they have more proof then people having seen Snyder eating dinner with an agent who co-incidently is the agent for both Haynesworth and Kelly.

It's also funny how they act like we signed Haynesworth at 12:01am. That would make me wonder but I still would have to say even that's not enough proof. How do we know Haynesworth had not already told his agent to make a contract with certain stipulations in it and have it ready to fax to teams when they called at 12:01am. It took 5-6 hours to get Haynesworth signed. Perhaps look over a contract and make changes to it. In this day and age when most contract stuff is all on software so it can be done quickly is a no brainer and if they e-mailed it back and forth with the changes until all parties were satisfied then it could have easily been done in probably 3-4 hours or perhaps less. Most of the mumbo jumbo is what's in all contracts. The agents and players know where to look at in the contract that interests them most.

Perhaps PFT should be looked at for tampering when they mentioned T.O. would be let go by the Cowboys way before the FA. I think they are either Titan fans or Bill fans and had alternative motives in trying to have T.O. cut so their team could pick him up. I wonder if they had dinner with T.O. prior to FA. I'm sure someone could vouch having seen a top PFT executive having dinner prior to mid. lol.
