The NFL is expected to impose significant penalties on the Atlanta Falcons for violating tampering rules during the recent free agency period. The violations involve the signing of quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was previously with the Minnesota Vikings. Falcons owner Arthur Blank has denied any wrongdoing, but the league’s investigation has reportedly uncovered evidence of illegal contact between the team and Cousins’ camp prior to the legal tampering period. The severity of the penalty will depend on the findings of the investigation, but it is likely to include the forfeiture of future draft picks.
