Schefter looks like a pile jumper on this one.
Agreed, and that's shocking cause he is usually the one being piled on.

I will believe it when he is at the press conference saying how great it is to be a Miami Dolphin. No point getting to worked up yet.
My only real concern right now is going to be the inevitable tampering accusations that are going to be flying. It just doesn't look good when the guy already has his plane ticket in hand to land in Miami 2 minutes before midnight.
I liked Shefter when he was on NFLN ...loved watching him on FA day with his blackberry i always told my buddy that his word was pretty much golden---but since he's gone to ESPN he's just another NFL reporter to me--- still enjoy him over anyone on ESPN
It was his opinion but I wonder if they have talked about this already since they are so close. We all know there is alot of tampering going on. I wonder if this is a done deal already.
Why are people bringing up tampering issues? Tampering usually means you have made contact with that player or somehow persuade him to sign with you and began negotiations while he is under contract for another team. Having a flight to Miami isn't considered tampering.
The part that is tampering is that you're assuming that Miami can write up a contract on a tarmac in 5 minutes. Miami would "just happen to be at the tarmac" at midnight, not knowing it was his plane, just so happen to have everything necessary to write up a contract and hand it to his agent. The tampering part comes from Miami would have obviously had a contract already in place before 12am on Friday and would have had contract with Dansby or his agent to know what plane he was on. I'm obviously just being silly about this. No worries man.
We will be ok as long as he doesnt hit our complex until after midnight and nothing that has taken place up to now can be traced.
Teams fly players in all the time to court them during FA.
