It isn't tampering to deal with the Bengals. It's tampering if they go behind the Bengals back and try and work a deal with Johnson.TheCount;2044754 said:Are the Commanders tampering by offering that trade deal for a player that hasn't been given permission to seek a trade and that the team has stated repeatedly they will not trade?

TheCount;2044833 said:Isn't that the same as making an unprovoked offer and having it go public? Either way, Chad and his people are now aware they are wanted somewhere else. I think that's walking a very fine line in the gray area of the anti-tampering rule.

Tampering, is attempting to negotiate a contract with a player that is currently under contract with another team, without the other teams permission.
Teams are allowed to offer trades to other teams, regardless of whether or not they said publicly they will take it.
TheCount;2044879 said:I don't think there's a misunderstanding, I simply don't know the rule, hence the question.
dargonking999;2044888 said:Obviously you knew something about the rule, or you would have asked, What is Tampering?
Either way your question is answered and Thank you's sound so much nicer. Try one, go on, you know you want to...
