League spokesperson Leslie Hammond said Thursday the league was looking into allegations involving center Mark Stepnoski, wide receiver Raghib Ismail and linebacker Quentin Coryatt. She had no further comment. Last month, it was reported the Cowboys had come to terms on mul tiyear contracts with the three free agents, but did not actually sign them. The New York Times report ed several teams said they recently contacted agents for the three, but in each case was told the player no longer was available. Some of the teams said they conducted their own investigations and determined that an arrange ment had been reached between the Cowboys and the players. At that point, according to The Times, at least several of the teams complained to the league. They told NFL officials they believed the Cowboys had reached verbal or written agreements with the play ers but had not signed them to a contract to circumvent cap rules. The league then began to ex plore the situation, according to team executives, union officials and agents the newspaper did not identify. The league offers 3 ward for anyone win proof that a team ha cap rules. If found guilty, 1 could lie fined million; be barred, at least tem using the playersinvo At least two of 1I1 complained believe 1 may have hiddenaa three players beaus not have room to in wanted to keep other getting them.
