Cardinals and Eagles Swap Draft Picks After Contact Rule Violation
- The Arizona Cardinals self-reported impermissible contact between their GM and the Eagles' former defensive coordinator during the Cardinals' head coach search.
- As a result, the teams agreed to trade third-round picks in 2023 and fifth-round picks in 2024.
- The Eagles move up in the third round while giving up a future fifth-rounder.
- The Cardinals' front office's inexperience may have contributed to the improper contact and subsequent punishment.
- All of this has come as former Cardinals executive accused the owner and GM of cheating in a 2018 burner phone scheme.
