Per WIP (Eskin) Bentley in Philly Tomorrow for Physical

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Saw this on another board, will look for a more official confirmation. I have been pretty good with these in the past though.

I thought FA didn't start till midnight? If he's already getting a physical, isn't that tampering?

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Sorry...coming in tomorrow.

Jeff Garcia too.....ewww.

I was wondering the same thing. He wasn't released was he? His contract just ran out I believe.

Hell FA doesnt start until Midnight tommorrow

Doubtful.

I'll have to call Jerrah on his cellphone so he can get that jet gased up and in route to meet Bentley at the airport!!!!!!!!

:laugh2:

You see all the screaming about tampering, but it happens.

Anyone who thinks it doesn't is foolish. It is just a don't ask-don't tell type of thing.

When you see players signing at the stroke of midnight, it does not take a genius to think that maybe they had contact before the process kicked off.

Mods.....feel free to edit my title. I missed saying "tomorrow"

Hello Captain Obvious.


Of course tampering happens. Hell, Dan "the Mad Midget" Snyder has turned it into an art form.

Doesn't mean we can't complain/talk about it.

You never hear about this kind of stuff from the cowboys though. If you did, something would likely "get done" about it.

Don't believe it. FA does not start until 3/11/06 ar 12:01 AM. Bently is still a member of the Saints.

[Vertigo_17]

Everyone knows it happens, but it was the E-Gals who went crying about Jerry "tampering" with TO just months ago...and yet they've all but signed Bentley BEFORE FA starts.

Jerry should call up Benson and have him return the favor just for fun.

League is going to look the other way on this because of the odd circumstances. The spirit of the tampering rules are to allow teams a certain amount of time to have exclusive negotations with their FAs. The teams got that time so it isn't like other teams are horning in on that.

There is nothing to suggest we haven't done it as well.

You mean to assume that of all the players like McGinest, Fabini, Mawae, Coleman and Sowell, not a one of them has spoken to Coach Parcells in one way, shape or form? No phone, email etc., even before they were cut loose?

If you believe so.

I've been the first to break a couple of stories. TO being suspended was one of them. The second I hear it's not true...I will happily come back and correct myself.

I didn't say there was.

I said you never (or rarely) hear reports such as this Bentley/Eagles report, with the cowboys.

Respond to what my post actually says, don't make assumptions.

Which was why I was very surprised when the Eagles started howling about Jerry and TO.

"I'm shocked! Shocked to find gambling going on here!"

"Your winnings sir?"

[canters]

I think the Eagles are looking at Bentlely as a guard not a center. Their current guard, Shawn Andrews, will slide over and take Runyon's spot.

Don't know if this is a net gain for the Eagles or not.

I would think that if a player is not under contract, that it is not pampering...only if players are currentlly under contract with another team would it be so.

How dare they pamper the players - they're making enough as it is.

He is under contract until 3/11/06 at 12:01 AM when FA starts.. Unless the Saints gave him permission to shop around or have alrady released him, then this would be considered tampering.

[ConcordCowboy]

Tampering Hell...Who cares...I hope the Cowboys are doing a lot of tampering!

They can't stop him from planning!!! Maybe he wants to go there??

So are you saying we are so good at that it never makes it to the press?

Or we don't do it?

It has to be one or the other.

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Bentley on the phone to the Eagles: "I would like to come for a physical tomorrow, is that OK?"

Eagles: "Mr Bentley, although we cannot say whether we are interested in you or not, we invite all Free Agents to stop by for a physical anytime starting Mar 10 "

It's not Rocket Science.

[AmishCowboy]

I heard Eskin on the way to work, he said that the Eagles probably would have Garcia and Bentley in on Saturday, But he didn't confirm it, only guessing about it.
