New Evidence Shows NFL Is Letting Raiders Tamper With Ben Johnson

In the NFL, one word that often comes up regarding potential free agents is tampering. For those who aren’t familiar, it is when a team or person tries to convince a player who is under contract with another team to join their team without the player’s current team’s permission. This practice became so blatant a few years ago that the league had to institute a legal tampering period before free agency so teams could begin negotiating. Anybody caught violating this rule would get slapped with severe penalties.
