Per Profootball talk:
Free top 5 pick in a mid round anyone?
Rosenthal posted earlier today regarding the report that Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett "has let it be known" that he believes defensive end Leonard Little can still get to the quarterback on a consistent basis.
And since Rosenthal is not yet as cynical as yours truly (he'll get better at it once he turns 20), Rosenthal didn't mention the first thing that came to mind when I say his item.
Tampering.
Regardless of how or where Haslett "let it be known," the fact that he's saying anything in any context about a player under contract with another team constitutes tampering.
We know. We know. A bunch of you will post comments regarding the fact that you don't care. And, frankly, I don't care that some of you don't care. Until the rules change or are enforced as written, I'll point out possible violations that, for whatever reason, are being ignored.
That said, ***** fans should care about the situation, since the Niners got their knuckles slapped a couple of years ago for the kind of thing that virtually every team does without consequence.
