Reading – NFL Hiring Computer Wiz to Look at Player Phones, Basically | VICE Sports
What’s interesting about this is the timing. Obviously with Deflategate there was an inability to get texts from Tom Brady’s phone, but having a mobile forensics expert wouldn’t have changed that. You need access to the phone. Is the NFL planning on making that part of the CBA, that players have to turn over their phones to provide information to the league in an investigation? Would they actually agree to that? I don’t think I would. It’s not a matter of having something to hide either, we all have data that just shouldn’t be public, or in anyone else’s hands, on our devices. Just because I work for a company doesn’t give them access to my personal phone. Putting that clause in a player’s contract is overreaching, IMHO.
