So conversations player to player (like Brady-Edelman) is not tampering in the league's eyes.
This would be tampering in the NBA. This is not allowed there but it's not true for the NFL.
In fairness to Brady, how serious was he? Edelman wasn't like Gronk or Antonio Brown who had control of their playing situation. How was Edelman ever going to go to Tampa when he was under contract with the Patriots and coming off his statistically best season of his career?
I think this story will get a decent amount of play, but it is much ado about nothing.
Who cares?
I think it's SB1 trying to justify why Brady didn't do anything wrong so no one can be critical of him
But what is the definition of "member club?" Can a player on said club count as a representative for the club? In other words, is it club management only?
Interestingly enough, the only mention of tampering in the CBA is this:i've read several writers today who seem to think it applies to players as well, is just not really enforced
Without limitation on any other operation or interpretation of Section 3(c) of this Article (Other Permissible Terms), any Rookie Contracts executed on or after April 24, 2018 may not contain any individually negotiated provision that: . . .

I think if a club asks a player to do that on their behalf, and says anything publicly then there would be a problem.i've read several writers today who seem to think it applies to players as well, is just not really enforced
I was under the impression that NBA free agency amounted to LeBron and his buddies sitting by a pool in the summer deciding where everyone in the league was going to play for the next three years.The other topic where this came up was closed so posting it here.

I just read another post that was locked after I gave you the "winner" rating.I doubt you can tamper with someone who is retired. Once you retire, you're Joe Q. Public. You certainly aren't working for the NFL anymore.
LeBron, AD and Russell Westbrook all got together during the offseason to find a way to Westbrook to the Lakers. I wish this trade didn't happen as it's been a disaster.This would be tampering in the NBA. This is not allowed there but it's not true for the NFL.
