Hint: it rhymes with shmowboys.

Seems pretty damned clear at this point they DID indeed tamper, and that the league WILL come down in our favor. I don't expect to see much news about it for some time though. Let the dust settle, let draft order become clear....

I don't see the league taking this one lightly. Tampering with a top ten high profile draft pick is a big friggen deal, if left unpunished it could set a precedent that could throw the whole system into chaos.

The jets try to tamper with Marshall, nothing happened, same with Crabs, nothing will happen, then they get Edwards anyways. I never thought anything would happen because it's so difficult to prove which only makes what the league did to SF such BS. Really the thanks goes to Deion for beinga dumbass and thinking he could use NFLN to pressure SF. Had he said nothing there's a good chance Crabs would have been traded to NY the day he was eligable.

I'm suprised that we could've gotten Edwards for just a 3rd and a 5th.

They say it would be hard to muster enough evidence, but if a missed phone call to Brigg's agent(who was a the agent of one of our players at the time) is enough to convict us of tampering, I think Deion's statement and the fact that the Jets needed a receiver and just traded for one is enough to convict them. Thats just my two sense.

I think it will be higher... if they are found guilty. I just don't think they will, but if so the league will want to send a huge message and set an example the way they did with Spygate against it's flagship team. But look at all the evidence it took for that to happen.

Convenient that they get Edwards, literally hours after Crabtree is signed. I can't wait until the niners pummel them again.

This really smells to high heaven. The day Crabs signs, the Jets trade for Braylon Edwards who is playing out his rookie contract and who could be suspended for punching out LeBron James' friend. And Crabs signs a week after the 49ers filed tampering charges against the Jets, closing off an avenue to a $40 million contract. With no alternative on the table, he comes in from the cold. If the Commish sweeps this under the rug, it will be very suspicious.

+1. I really hope that the commish will back up his stance on tampering and throw the book at the Jets. A 2nd rounder would be nice...

The Jets can't give the 9ers a '10 draft pick because they traded them away for Braylon Edwards lol....smells fishy.

They gave away a 3rd and a 5th. I'm starting to think that Mangini is still getting paid by the Jets.
