Given the way the NFL likes to pick & choose when they feel like handing out discipline, I doubt this will fall under tampering, but it is pretty odd that the Dallas Cowboys twitter would talk about how Adrian Peterson being reinstated would make the Cowboys a contender. Peterson was officially reinstated earlier today. He is still a member of the Vikings so not sure how that makes Dallas a contender unless there are things in the works behind the scenes. But if so would Jerry Jones and the Cowboys be dumb enough to allow a tweet possibly signaling that to go out? Sports are full or rumors and this is just another one but it is intriguing.

NFL: NOW the Cowboys Restructure Tony Romo’s Contract After DeMarco Murray Is Gone
Tony Romo revealed that DeMarco Murray asked him to take a pay cut so the Dallas Cowboys could work on a deal to keep him.

NFL: Tony Romo Says DeMarco Murray Asked Him to Take a Pay Cut
As the offseason approached it became clear that the Dallas Cowboys would have to choose between keeping star wide receiver Dez Bryant or star running back DeMarco Murray due to the salary cap. The Cowboys placed a franchise tag on Bryant and tried to work on a deal to keep Murray but the money just wasn’t there. Murray subsequently signed a five-year, $42 million contract with the Cowboys NFC East rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. One of the reasons the Cowboys didn’t have enough money is because of the massive contract they gave to quarterback Tony Romo.
