I thought I read somewhere that there was some suspicious circumstances with the signing of Boston by San Diego. Does anyone know of any specifics? Why doesn't the Cardinals look into these alegations and report it to the NFL? The Cardinals could get some really nice compensation from the Chargers if they can prove it

I think so too. They cut Conway and then signed Boston right after free agency began.
I think it was a pretty bold move to cut your best receiver unless you had certain "guarantees" that you could replace him.

I haven't heard anything tangible about any hanky panky, but did wonder about stuff posted here about David preferring to spend his leisure days and nights in a livelier place than the Valley - specifically San Diego.
It would seem possible he could have hooked up with a few Charger players and maybe stuff was worked out in advance via back-channel. But I haven't heard anything.

Or maybe he had a handshake agreement with San Fran to do a cut and sign deal for Terell Owens.
You can't blame him, just because the niners didn't hold up thier end of the bargain.

It would be great to get one of their picks as compensation.
I just wanted to point out...this nightlife stuff is b.s. I have lived in san diego and scottsdale..they (san diego and phoenix) have comparable night life...san diego is not exactly los angeles, new york, chicago or even atlanta.. if you hang out in lajolla you will see the most beautiful woman money can buy..but if you go to sanctuary or some other clubs in scottsdale you can see the same girls..

Boston signed his contract on Thursday, six days into free agency. No way we win a tampering claim. In the first few years of free agency, it wasn't unusual for deals to be struck just hours into free agency. Before the sun even came up. They never slapped anyone for tampering then, they won't now either. It's way too hard to prove.
Damn those girls must get around to be in both places

I call it Skanktuary. That place is full of the $30,000 millionaire. Most of the people pretend to be someone else.
Some of the places I like in Scottsdale are Dos Gringos, Flickas Cantina, Frashar's Smokehouse, among others. Oh...Babe's Caberet is pretty cool too!

I posted that a San Diego reporter they had on KDUS last week said on the air he believed there was a deal "in the works" with Boston prior to the start of FA. He said this as an explanation for why they released Conway with no obvious replacement right before the start of FA, they were clearing money to sign Boston. He said at the time nobody in San Diego understood the move but once they had Boston it was perfectly clear.
I think it's hard to prove, Atlanta did the same thing clearing cap space(which ultimately went to Price) as did other teams, but you have to prove they tampered with Boston PRIOR to the beginning of the FA period and unless his agent comes forward I don't see that happening.
