The San Francisco 49ers, mired in a contract impasse with first-round draft pick Michael Crabtree, have filed tampering charges with the NFL against the New York Jets, the New York Daily News has reported, citing unnamed sources.
The Jets denied the allegations through a spokesman, the paper reported.
"We'll let the NFL figure that one out," Jets coach Rex Ryan said Monday on "Mike & Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio. "I think it's ridiculous, personally."
According to the Daily News, specifics of the allegations weren't known.
"I wish we were playing them," Ryan said of the 49ers.
The 49ers refused to comment on the report.
"These are internal matters that are handled by the league so we are not going to comment," 49ers spokesman Bob Lange told ESPN.
The newspaper reported the Jets continue to covet a big-name receiver after failing to land Percy Harvin in this year's draft. Harvin was picked 22nd by the Minnesota Vikings.
