Matt Walsh a former New England Patriots video assistant has reached an agreement Wednesday to meet with league officials and turn over any video tapes he might have to support his allegations. He has told ESPN that he has potentially damaging information about the team’s taping practices.In January Walsh told ESPN.com in an interview that he was contacted by NFL officials during their investigation of the Patriots’ illegal taping practices. It was only during Super Bowl week that his name emerged in the media and the league attempted to reach Walsh, who worked seven years with the Patriots before being let go in January, 2003.
He was employed by the Patriots from 1996 through the 2002 Super Bowl and is now an assistant golf pro in Hawaii. He will travel to New York and interview with Commissioner Roger Goodell and other NFL officials on Tuesday, May 13 2008. The agreement calls for Walsh to provide the league any tapes or materials he possesses from his years with the Patriots.
According to the agreement reached Walsh is required turn over to the NFL any documents, including videotapes that relate to allegations of videotaping Patriots opponents, by May 8 2008. His legal counsel, Levy, how ever is allowed to retain a copy of his document under the agreement, though the materials can not be used for commercial purposes or in a manner that could “reasonably be expected to be disparaging to the NFL.” Nor may Walsh or his attorney make documents available to a third party without the league’s consent.
