Titans Seek Tampering Evidence Against Redskins

Sep 21, 2014 5:59 AM

The Titans are interested in pursuing tampering charges against the Redskins, who agreed to terms with defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth just a few hours into the NFL's free agent signing period. There was speculation that Washington would sign Haynesworth to a $100 million contract long before free agency began. There have been reports of a meeting between Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and agent Chad Speck at the NFL Combine, which began on Feb. 16. NFL rules prohibit teams from contacting agents for players still under contract, but such cases can be hard to prove.
