What the NFL calls a legal tampering period will begin today and last until midday Wednesday. By legal tampering, I mean agents and teams are allowed to talk terms but not make any binding deals. For instance, if the Browns were interested in free-agent quarterback Brock Osweiler, they could discuss parameters of a deal with Osweiler’s agent, Jimmy Sexton, but they couldn’t say, “We’ll give you three years and $50 million, with $25 million guaranteed.” What the Browns could say is that they are interested in Osweiler if the price tag were somewhere in the $15 million range annually, with around $20 million guaranteed. So teams just have to be careful with how precise they get when they talk turkey.
