I believe the crux about the case is, the meddling prevented the Bears from getting a long-term deal done last year. Briggs and his sleazeball agent, made aware by the 9ers interest, took the one year tag deal, with the belief that the 9ers would show the money this year. If you look at statements Briggs has made to the media prior to the tag deal, a case can be made that he believed a big pay day, from another franchise, was on the horizon. It doesn't matter if a player is re-signed, or lost, if tampering can be proven, then a severe kick-in-the-sac is called for. Goddell himself is on record as saying he wants it (Tampering) stopped once and for all. The 9ers may end up being the whipping boy.
