NFL Investigates Eagles, Falcons for Potential Tampering During Free Agency
The league probes communications with Saquon Barkley and Kirk Cousins, which could lead to penalties for violating anti-tampering policies.
- The NFL is investigating potential tampering by the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons during the free agency negotiating window, focusing on communications with Saquon Barkley and Kirk Cousins, respectively.
- Evidence suggests the Falcons may have communicated directly with Cousins, and the Eagles with Barkley, before the allowed period, raising questions about adherence to the league's anti-tampering policy.
- The Eagles have denied any direct contact with Barkley, while evidence of the Falcons' communication with Cousins came from the player's own statements.
