Two Security Managers To Investigate Tampering Charges
To be perfectly honest, I had all but forgotten about the tampering charges that the 49'ers had filed against the Jets, that was until a reader sent this link along to a story from Mike Florio of PFT
An investigation will be conducted, and the league will appoint two security managers from other teams to handle it.
The procedure for determining the teams whose security personnel will investigate the claims isn't known. We assume that the selection will avoid an actual or apparent conflict of interest. For example, the history of acrimony between the Jets and the Patriots, including tampering charges made in 2006 by the Pats against the Jets and the Spygate brouhaha, suggests that the Patriots' head of security won't be one of the two selected officials.
As we already covered the allegations last month, it seems worthless going back over the situation until some facts actually come out, and who knows how long that could be. That being said, I still don't think that anything will come of this, Florio goes on to spend the majority of the article talking about an investigation into the business relationship of Deion Sanders who really brought all this on, and Eugene Parker, agent to Michael Crabtree and Dustin Keller.

This is dumb...
With plenty of possible established WRs being available for trade during the preseason, why would the Jets not make a trade but proceed to tamper with a rookie who is unproven. Now lets say their plan was to redraft him next year, then he would do nothing for the Jets this year. If they wanted him this year in a trade with the 49ers, obviously hoping that they traded him at the deadline. The trouble with that is that Crabtree would have to learn the whole playbook, get in synch with Sanchez, and basically be useless for this season.
If the Jets were going to get a WR they would have gotten an established Vet. The Jets were happy with their Current WRs and its working out, why would they have tampered with Crabtree?
