With the 2024 NFL Draft scheduled to begin
Thursday, the league will not be docking either team draft picks
-- should it find one or both guilty of tampering -- this year.
The league confirmed in March that it was looking into the
possibility of tampering by the teams prior to the start of free
agency. The reviews focus on quarterback Kirk Cousins agreeing
to a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons, and
running back Saquon Barkley signing a three-year, $37.75 million
deal with the Eagles.
The Falcons said in a statement at the time that "due to the
NFL's review, we are unable to provide information or have
additional comment."
The Eagles denied the claims.
