Per Mort and Schefter this morning.

That's all I caught on ESPN.

Most likely the AP thing.

That was the only tampering that was in question.

There was never any doubt they'd be cleared.

I bet there won't be 4 or 5 articles about this on profootballtalk

Did they even do anything? I thought it was alleged that AP just said to JJ that he would play in dallas after his contract ran out. If that resulted in tampering wouldnt all of your players just go yell those things at the opposing ownership and management?

You're right, that's why they ruled it wasn't tampering

Im pretty shocked that it was even addressed

The issue is that Jerry needed to report that discussion immediately. Jerry obviously was just being polite but he does need to recognize the contact was not appropriate and inform the league.
