If Schef is talking out of his ass, then it's pretty sad.
If Schef has an inside source from either team, that has to be considered tampering if they're leaking it through a media source to publish their interest in him.
Either way, the NFL should investigate because he is not a free agent to be as others have pointed out.
If the Pats had gotten word out to Revis and his agent they would give him a nice deal while the Bucs were still negotiating with him before cutting him, there would have been a month-long "investigation" from the league filled with lots of unprofessional leaks, questioning of legacies, blah blah blah.
But the Jets owner can flat out say in front of the world that he is interested and there's nothing in the news? Maybe because there should be nothing to investigate? It's on tape, millions of people saw it. Maybe it was mailed to the league and Goodell didn't see it because someone lost it. I don't ****ing know anymore.
