Titans Accusing Redskins of Tampering with Haynesworth *merged*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titans seek tampering evidence against Redskins
The Tennesse Titans are interested in pursuing tampering charges against the Washington Redskins, who agreed to terms with defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth just five hours into the NFL free agency period. Jim Wyatt reports in the Nashville Tennessean that the big question is whether the Titans come up with enough evidence against the Redskins to make a good case to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
One blogger forecast a $100 million deal and much was made of a meeting between Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and agent Chad Speck, who represents Haynesworth, at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis a week before free agency, which began Feb. 16 at 11 p.m. Central.
Asked if the Redskins tampered, Haynesworth said: "I don't think so. Yeah, Chad told me he met with the Redskins at the combine, but they were talking about Malcolm and how he could become the next Andre Johnson and stuff like that.
"All I know is the Redskins called my agent at 11:04 Nashville time and they started negotiating then. They weren't anywhere close in the first couple of hours and then they got serious. Chad worked the deal then and it worked out.''
