Eagles being investigated for tampering with Saquon Barkley
NY Post
The NFL is investigating the Eagles for a possible tampering violation in their signing of free agent Saquon Barkley away from the Giants, a source confirmed.
It was prompted by Penn State head coach James Franklin’s comments that Barkley and general manager Howie Roseman spoke before it was allowed Wednesday at 4 p.m.
All communications during the 52-hour legal tampering free-agency period that began Monday must go through a team and an agent.
The Eagles denied that Roseman and Barkley spoke.
The league also is looking into the Kirk Cousins acquisition by the Falcons from the Vikings after Cousins said that he spoke with Falcons trainers during the recruitment process.
Both matters are part of the standard review process, per source, as first reported by ESPN.
