The NFL has confirmed that the Miami Dolphins did not violate any rules against tampering in their pursuit of Ndamukong Suh.

The issue arose because reports of Suh’s impending deal with the Dolphins, including length and financial details, went public before the official start of free agency. Teams are permitted to speak to agents during a three-day “legal tampering” window, but are barred from agreeing to terms until free agency gets underway.
