There is a lot of chatter in the agent community that Roger Goodell's shocking memo before the start of the legal tampering period was, at its basis, a form of collusion by the league. A handful of teams I talked to at the combine thought the three-day negotiating window would be a windfall for the players as they jacked up prices on the top free agents. Funny how that suddenly went away when Goodell issued a memo shortly before the period that scared everyone out of talking numbers. Agents are saying that the teams are now using the three-day window to their advantage by trying to get the players to take the cheaper deals in hand rather than risk losing money once the market stops. We've seen that with some of the deals struck over the weekend for players to stay where they are.
