Titans accuse Redskins of tampering

I don't have a link yet, but ESPN radio is reporting that the Tennessee Titans are looking into filing tampering charges with the Redskins deal involving Albert Haynesworth.

If I'm not mistaken, if a team is convicted of tampering this could mean fines and docked draft picks.

as stated in the Haynesworth thread, somewhere along the way:

- they can't prove it
- AH and his agent said all along they were going to test the market
- The Titans offer was never close to the six teams that reportedly "started the bidding at 12:01 Friday Morning"

This will be another source for writers like Peter King to mail in an excuse for an actuall cloumn by babblingly bashing the skins for a paragraph or two, the same for the raiders, say how great the Pats are, and how great the Chiefs will be because Pioli is there, and then he can go back to drinking coffee on his couch and cash his latest paycheck for doing nothing

I couldnt agree more. Regardless of what happenes this will allow all of the 'Skins haters to come out of the woodwork to take their shots.

According to the timeline, the Redskins were bidding for Haynesworth, then were out of the bidding on Friday night, before getting back into it. Doesn't sound like they had anything wrapped up ahead of time.

Asked if the Redskins tampered, Haynesworth said: "I don't think so. Yeah, Chad told me he met with the Redskins at the combine, but they were talking about Malcolm and how he could become the next Andre Johnson and stuff like that.

Malcolm Kelly? I'll be happy if he just plays a whole season.

Comparing Kelly to Andre Johnson is a joke.

Feel free to begin a "Malcolm Kelly not Andre Johnson" thread... We now return to our regularly scheduled thread, "Titans accuse Redskins"...

I'm not knocking the guy, but i think he needs to make it onto some grass somewhere before people start comparing him to a top 3 WR.

looks like the titans drawed strawed and the short one had to report tampering. Just another publicity stunt. In an other wise meaningful offseason. I sure hopr the skins could make haynesworth roll on offenses like the Titans did. I don't believe vinny and tose FO guys would ever dream of cheetin like that though.....

This whole thing is such a joke. How many FAs signed within the first few hours of free agency? We're supposed to believe these players weren't talking early?

My friend the titans fan was all too happy to hear they might get a draft pick, he is soo bitter about us getting haynesworth. First thing he did was send me 3 pages of texts calling daniel snyder a dumba$$ then he started telling me albert will get injured and then he was saying that the Titans didn't want haynesworth back, like they just showed him the door.
