The NFL is investigating potential tampering allegations involving the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons related to their recent signings of Saquon Barkley and Kirk Cousins, respectively. Reports emerged after comments from Penn State head coach James Franklin suggested possible premature discussions with Barkley, prompting the Eagles to deny any tampering. The league's inquiry aims to determine if any violations occurred during the legal tampering window before the start of free agency. Saquon Barkley has clarified that his agent was the only one in conversations with the Eagles, suggesting a misinterpretation by Franklin. The NFL regularly reviews such matters to ensure compliance with its policies.
