Curran and Reiss need to push this.

This looks to be a pretty decent smoking gun for tampering. What Mehta published 24 hours before Revis was released is what he signed for. The Jets cannot tell the media their bargaining numbers even off the record.

The only thing in the Pats future regarding Revis is the 2015 $5 million dead money cap hit. Jets owner will be fined and reprimanded at worst. If you do get a pick, it will be a 6th or 7th, but the Pats will likely get nothing.

I'm just chalking it,up as another whacky coincidence. I just hope the league doesn't come down too hard on them.
It was definitely tampering, and the Patriots will get something for it. Not sure there has ever been tampering with a player of this caliber, so the punishment against the Jets could be substantial. Pats Pulpit has an article discussing the Jets being forced to trade #1's with the Patriots. We will find out.Here is a Tweet he posted on Monday:

I don't think tampering is a big deal as most (not that it isn't a big deal, but everyone does it) and I think the league looks the other way, but if the League does find that they tampered with Revis over the weekend after his stupid comments a few months ago, it does become a bigger deal. It becomes a pattern of tampering with the same player over time. Much different that just one incident of foot in mouth syndrome.
That article was a week before ... not a day before ... even worse.Here is a Tweet he posted on Monday:

The smoking gun would be proof that the Jets fed Mehta info, without that there's absolutely nothing. The numbers don't even match exactly. Anyone could've guessed at that.

It is a clear cut case, but I'm not seeing the big deal. Does anyone really believe that Revis' agent wouldn't have had just as much information had NY handled things more quietly? It almost certainly had no tangible impact on how things played out.
If anything, Johnson's zeal may end up getting NE a free draft pick for a player they would have lost anyway. I can live with that.
I kinda wonder if Revis was feeding the Pats' offer to the Jets.
BINGO! The man has BINGO!
Tampering was a big deal in 1997 when the Patriots received four draft picks from the Jets for tampering with Bill Parcells. This may not be as egregious, but it sure is as blatant, documented and led by the owner. It is almost as if Woody Johnson said, "I don't care what it costs. I want Revis."
Between Deflatefgate and this tampering charge involving the league's top cornerback, Goodell has a lot to announce and deal with before the draft regarding the NFL's marquee franchise, the New England Patriots.
