    The rule saying "You can talk to players but not make any deals for X days before the start of free agency" is ridiculous. The only point of talking to them is to make deals.

    Revis wasn't a free agent so if we talked to him before 4 pm Tuesday and the league has evidence that's kinda really bad

    That's what I was saying.

    This is not a "non story". If Woody did something like this, we are fucked. It scares the hell out of me considering Woody is a moron

    I'm sure nothing major will come of it so long as they don't find out that we talked with Revis before FA. I highly doubt that is the case as we haven't been linked to him in january and february.

    Also, there was a tampering case a while back with the niners and bears where they DID talk to someone. All that happened was a pick switch, granted briggs didn't sign with niners

    Not necessarily. ESPN reported much earlier Tuesday that the Cheatriots weren't picking up Revis's option. Wouldn't that make him a FA once they declined the option?

    Not to mention that he saying he would have liked Revis back at the price the pats for hardly constitutes anything more than a fine

    But Mac isn't a moron. There was no reports of the Jets linked to ANYONE prior to Tuesday. There was a thread on here bitching about it. This is The Patriots being assholes. As usual.

    I wish they would take deflate-gate incredibly seriously.

    Got a feeling the Jets will be losing a draft pick for tampering this year, although I agree with everyone that says his comment was referring to the prior season, it doesn't change the fact that he violated the word of the rule. Hopefully the pick we lose is a late pick and not in the second round tho

    The kooks on Patsfans.com think they're gonna be swapping first rounders with us which is a laugher

    This is what I'm scared of. The NFL is taking this very seriously this time. It's not gonna just be a fine and a slap on the wrist.

    Fuckin New England! Cheating motherfuckers. Such scumbags

    This thread title is extremely misleading. Makes it seem the jets are just now being investigated and that's not the case

    In fact they were never investigated at all in that sense. They were monitored.

    They were sent to the Jets Facility. What's misleading about it? Sent is a past tense word. And they are labeled as "NFL Investigators"

    I think this is just window dressing. The fact that the NFL is probably looking at evetybody. If they only look at us only, I will be pissed.

    Very true.

    If the Jets contacted Revis's agent before he was a free agent, then they are morons. That would be a big deal.

    But if the investigation is dealing with "Did these teams release information about their tentative deals to the media on Monday, when we told you to wait until Tuesday?" then IMO the investigation is utter BS, and just consists of the league swinging its big D around just to show that it can. Just rifling through GMs' phone records and e-mails to get revenge on them, even though the leaks could've come from the agents, and even though there is no legitimate reason for the NFL to want to keep the deals a secret until Tuesday.

    If they're looking for Revis tampering, then I guess they'd need to check phone and e-mail records. As long as they weren't contacting Revis or his people before he became a free agent, it should be fine. The fact that they came to a deal quickly doesn't mean the NFL should assume there was tampering- Revis basically got what he wanted, so there wasn't a need for super long negotiations.

    The level of denial on this board is mindboggling. Here is how is gonna go down guys since we all seem to be having a hard time wrapping are heads around this. If woody just made that comment two months ago and nothing else probably just a fine. If the investigators find out that the jets and revis were talking before 4pm on tuesday with the addition of that comment with the additon of actually signing revis...we are gonna lose draft picks.
