Cowboys could be facing scrutiny for timing of Mark Sanchez signing

The Cowboys, desperate for a backup quarterback, apparently moved more quickly than they should have to address their needs.

Per a league source with knowledge of the timing of the release of the NFL’s official transaction report for Saturday, September 3, the Cowboys face scrutiny from the league office for signing former Broncos quarterback Mark Sanchez before his release from the Broncos was officially communicated by the league to all teams.

While a technicality, it’s nevertheless a clear violation of the tampering rules, with the Cowboys contacting, negotiating with, and signing Sanchez while he was still officially the property of the Broncos. The bigger question is whether the NFL will do anything about it.

Patriots fans are watching and waiting.

Even if it's a token pick, they need to do something so future teams won't have a leg to stand on - it may be a minor mistake, but it's still a violation of league rules.

Plus, it's the Cowboys, and they get full of themselves anyway.

Though, I guess an argument could be made that signing Sanchez is punishment enough.

I hope it's a 1st or 2nd.

After further review, the league has determined that having Sanchez on their roster is punishment enough, and will not pursue the matter further.

Damn it! Beat me to it. Maybe the league could force them to sign him to a multi-year deal.
