The NFL has been undergoing an investigation to look into whether the Miami Dolphins illegally tampered with then-soon-to-be free agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh prior to the so-called “legal tampering window” in the days that led up to the start of the 2015 league year on March 10. The league ruled on Tuesday that the Dolphins did not commit any tampering violations, according to the Miami Herald‘s Adam H. Beasley.
Suh was signed to a record-breaking six-year, $114 million contract on March 11. However, ESPN reported three days earlier that a deal—for the same length and value—between the Dolphins and Suh was already in place, which would have been in violation of NFL rules.
