After three months of investigation, the NFL resolved the free-agent tampering cases of the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons.
The league announced Thursday that its investigation found the Eagles did not have contact with then-free-agent running back Saquon Barkley during the 52-hour legal tampering period prior to the start of free agency, during which teams can speak to only agents and not directly to players. After reviewing text messages, emails and other documents related to the signing, and interviewing of Barkley, general manager Howie Roseman, head coach Nick Sirianni and Penn State head coach James Franklin, the NFL found no evidence the team violated the anti-tampering policy.
