yeah the league will look the other way unless it's obvious and there's proof. So if you're right that the athletic posted that Mahomes was calling Williams, then...



I think you misread or something. No way the chief/Mahomes did that and let it leak that they did.

Talk about a high-pressure sell.

Established NFL players recruit free agents to come to their teams every year, and Trent Williams was getting his fair share of calls and texts in this cycle, too. One recruiter, however, stood out.

It was Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs quarterback who was last seen running for his life from Buccaneers pass rushers in the Super Bowl. According to those privy to the conversations, Mahomes made a strong pitch in texts and phone calls to Williams about joining him as the Chiefs’ new left tackle.

Dude if you have articles posting that players did that, it's going to be very hard for the league to look the other way and you can bet rival teams will make sure to bring it up with the league.

That's why I think o.city misread. Because that would be a dumb mistake for the chiefs to make. Not Mahomes talking to Williams. Players talk all the time. But to have it leak that they did would be really dumb.

Wow. That's really ****ing dumb they let that leak. Hopefully nothing comes of this.

John Gruden literally was on the radio weeks ago telling Sherman to come to Las Vegas LMAO

They don’t care.

It’s a rumor not even anything concrete LMAO

Nothing will come of this.

Prove that Mahomes didn’t do it on his own accord

2 years ago, Trent Brown agreed to a deal 9 minutes after the legal tampering period started. I’m sure his agent wasn’t talking to the Raiders at all before then.

I'm sure he was. Players and teams tamper all the time. They just don't let it leak that they're texting the player under contract to come join them lol.

They do that shit on Twitter all the time.

11 posts ago but worth a repost.

It doesn't matter if he did or not. Players/Staff plain can't talk to other players on other teams about joining them. Otherwise you'd see players on twitter telling other players to come join their team all the time.

Ah, didn't see that.
