You can't prove the Dolphins and Smiley didn't agree to contract parameters within that time limit. Let's not forget the contract wasn't even signed that day. There's nothing you can prove.

If you want to crackdown on a rule, that's fine, but I'm not a fan of simply making an example of somebody(which in my opinion Goodell is pretty good at) It always leaves a bad taste in my mouth when one person/organization is punished for something that everybody does.

However, it is just as plausible that those same teams are not guilty of having committed tampering, but merely knew what they valued a player at, threw out a number to said player, and they in turn agreed to the team's offer. No evidence exists to honestly say one or the other is right, so it's all just plain speculation on everybody's part. Be it free agency or Spygate II, it's all just sour grapes as far as I'm concerned because you can't prove any of it. My personal opinion is that most of the teams being accused of tampering were just a heck of a lot better at knowing what they wanted and offering a good enough price. Happens all the times in the rest of the world. And, quite frankly, your team's head coach does not personally call players after midnight to talk at length when he's supposedly already had that player in the bag for weeks! Not when there are other free agents he needs to be putting in time to chase after.
