The NFL’s official tampering window to negotiate with free agents kicks off on Monday. Teams will then be able to freely discuss contract numbers with any free agent they want.

Tampering will officially be legal at Noon Monday.

DK Metcalf says he wants to play for a contender and in a warm weather city. Not a warm dome, a warm weather city. Now the problem for the Seahawks is that they had to drop their request from a first and third to a second round pick. Chargers, Raiders, Rams, Cards and 49ers are all excited and not one of them has offered a second. The favorite appears to be Miami, but the Dolphins don't have the money. So what can the Seahawks do? How about telling him that no one will give them their asking price so he may have to play his final year in Seattle. OR tell him that he can play in a cold weather city and make a kaboodle of money and the Seahawks might get their price.

Cold city and kaboodle of money it is. Pittsburgh and $150M

Jets appear to be getting ready to release Devante Adams. Talk about divas. Then again, he can catch a football.

Welp that aint happening.... Even if he didn't sign with the Chargers he wasn't coming to NE

Same. Just hope they get a solid WR whether it is FA or the draft...... SO basically that leaves out the draft

You can argue with the NFL. It's their term, not mine.

I'll state it again, if it's legal it ain't tampering. That doesn't make you wrong, it makes the term wrong. My guess it's a misguided attempt to highlight that contact at other times is completely against rules. It should be called "allowed contact period" or "pending free agents contact period".
