Chiefs' Mike DeVito willing to join free-agent market
Sorry if it's a repost.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...eeagent-market Chiefs' Mike DeVito willing to join free-agent market Mike DeVito could very well join the free-agent market soon. The versatile veteran defensive end/tackle, who tore his Achilles during a Week 1 matchup against the Titans, will likely be asked to take a pay cut in order to remain on the roster, according to multiple league sources familiar with the situation. DeVito, 30, is scheduled to make $4 million in 2015. But after several inquiries from other clubs at the combine, he might feel like he could get the same on the open market. Before his injury, DeVito was viewed as the No. 7 3-4 defensive end in football, by Pro Football Focus. In 2012, his final year with the Jets, he graded out 12th among ends. With the market for a player at a similar age and position already heating up -- according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Ricky Jean Francois has visits lined up with the Redskins and 49ers -- a fully healed DeVito may be right to take a calculated gamble, especially with many run defense-needy teams out there with money to spend. |

It might be deemed tampering but it depends on who contacted whom.
If DeVito's agent said to Dorsey "Are you planning to keep or cut my client? I need to know because there will be interested teams.", I think that's okay. But if teams were contacting his agent or DeVito himself without speaking with the Chiefs first, then I think it might be considered tampering. But this stuff goes on all the time. As long as it's not egregious, I don't think the league cares. |

2. So, it's okay to ask one guy to take a pay cut but not another. QB don't deserve to take less than market value, but defensive ends do. That seems awfully subjective, there. 3. Tom Brady - while a cheater - at least understands that paying your QB 20 million dollars a year cripples the franchise. Something Noodle Arm doesn't seem to grasp... |

In other news....
"Chiefs fans everywhere are willing to let Mike DeVito join the free-agent market (or be traded, or released)" |

Didn't you see his thread about crushing his head in a parking garage? He'll have to clear the concussion protocol before he can get back to ranting and raving.
