FWIW, tampering is when a team tries to interfere with a team's relationship with a player under contract.
I think one might be able to make an argument for collusion (i.e., if, say, the Pats traded Cassel to KC for a sixth-rounder in 2011 even though Tampa Bay was offering a first in 2009 and a larger contract for Cassel), but I don't see how tampering would be involved.
Of course, since Cassel himself has to be on board with any trade, I'm not even sure they could make collusion stick.
