The Atlanta Falcons were penalized for violating anti-tampering rules in signing Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and Charlie Woerner. While the Falcons were fined and stripped of a draft pick, the Philadelphia Eagles escaped penalties despite being investigated for impermissible contact with Saquon Barkley. The league has a history of penalizing teams for tampering, such as the Miami Dolphins in 2022 and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016.
