NFL Finds Falcons Guilty of Tampering with Kirk Cousins and Two Other Players; Atlanta to Lose 2025 Draft Pick and Pay Fine
The Atlanta Falcons have been penalized by the NFL for improperly pursuing quarterback Kirk Cousins during the 2024 free agency period, resulting in a forfeited draft pick and fines for the team’s general manager. The violations included direct contact with Cousins and other free agents, such as discussing travel arrangements, which is prohibited during the negotiating period. The NFL also cleared the Philadelphia Eagles of any wrongdoing in their acquisition of Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants, after reviewing their free agency strategy and finding no evidence of tampering. Both cases highlight the league’s policy against improper contact with free agents during the negotiation period.
