The NFL’s efforts to gather information regarding any potential tampering by the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles surrounding their signings of Kirk Cousins and Saquon Barkley respectively, continue as the league’s investigation remains ongoing. The NFL has announced that the review into these tampering allegations will not conclude before the start of the 2024 NFL draft. Both teams are expected to receive penalties for tampering during the free agency period, with the Falcons likely to face more significant punishment than the Eagles. The Chicago Bears, gearing up for the draft, are set to add a pair of top prospects in the first round, unaffected by the NFL’s investigation.
