Per ESPN’s Outside The Lines, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones may have violated the NFL’s league policy on tampering when he had a conversation with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.
The NFL’s rules on player tampering lay out specific steps to take if a team is contacted by a player who is under contract with another team: “… the contacted club must immediately report such contact to the owner or operating head of the club which holds the player’s rights.” Failure to do so can result in “severe” penalties from the commissioner’s office.
