No resolution to Falcons, Eagles tampering charges this week … ESPN is reporting at this hour that they have been told there will not a final decision on the allegations of tampering against both Atlanta and Philadelphia. The Falcons have been accused of talking to former Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins prior to signing him as a free agent last month. At the time, the Falcons could only talk to the player’s agent, but reportedly spoke with Cousins directly. Same story for the Eagles who allegedly spoke directly to former Giants’ RB Saquon Barclay before it was permitted. There had been speculation in the case of the Falcons that one possible punishment would be to force them to flip the 8th and 11th picks with Minnesota which would have put the Vikings into better position to move up and grab a QB on Thursday night; however, if there are any draft-related aspects of the two cases they now won’t impact the 2024 draft.
