The Atlanta Falcons on Thursday were been docked a fifth-round pick in the 2025 draft and fined for violating the NFL's anti-tampering policy related to free agent signings, while the league cleared the Philadelphia Eagles of tampering with their signing of running back Saquon Barkley this offseason.

The tampering violations are related to the Falcons having "improper contact" with prospective unrestricted free agents Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and Charlie Woerner during the two-day negotiating period prior to the start of the 2024 league year.
