According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the league could conclude its investigation and hand down the punishment as early as this week, which would come right in time to affect the first round of the NFL draft. There is precedent for the league to impact a team’s draft picks in tampering cases, as we saw just last season. The Miami Dolphins were forced to forfeit their first-round pick in last year’s draft, along with a third-round pick in this year’s draft, in two separate tampering cases involving former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and former Saints, now Broncos, head coach Sean Payton. Before that, the league stripped the Kansas City Chiefs of a third-round pick in 2016 and a sixth-round selection in 2017 for their tampering with former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin in 2015. In both cases, members of the coaching staff and/or front office personnel received fines in addition to the draft pick forfeitures. Schefter reports that some sources believe that the punishment for the Falcons is “likely to involve draft picks” and “is expected to be more severe”. |

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the league has investigated whether the Eagles made improper contact with Barkey before the legal free-agency negotiation window. The allegations were raised when Penn State coach James Franklin told reporters that Eagles general manager Howie Roseman spoke with Barkley before the start of the legal negotiating window for other teams free agents, an allegation the Eagles denied. If the Eagles are found guilty of tampering with Barkley, they will likely be docked draft picks and could be fined. The Giants would not benefit from the Eagles' losing draft picks, meaning that any picks docked from the Eagles’ stash would not be awarded to the Giants as compensation. |
The Eagles could be docked but the Giants, the injured party, would not obtain the draft picks.
I do not get the logic.
3rd rd draft pick swap I believe.
Whoops, “picks”.
They believed that they should have received greater compensation.
However, the NFL was hampered as the allegations were only made a couple of weeks before the draft. This limited their ability to fully vet the situation.
They already have an edge with their willingness to offer three #1's.
They know what is going on with teams trying to jockey for position to get their QB.
And I bet the Eagles get no punishment.

when Arizona tampered with Ganon?

Lol. I know what the outcome was. What I am asking is why the Eagles were allowed to benefit but we cannot.
In most cases, it just seems like the penalty is handed down with no logic or reasoning. There is no transparency.
I am not saying the Giants should or shouldn't receive compensation (although I would love it) but how does the league come to this decision? What constitutes if a violating team is docked draft compensation or if it is rewarded to the victim?
In a related note out of sheer frustration...how is it that Philadelphia consistently bends the rules and gets away with it???
It’s ridiculous but that is the only reason PHI received any compensation. As Schefter noted talking about the NYG/PHI situation, the league penalizes the offender but does not provide compensation to the victim. I.e., even if PHI and ATL are docked picks by league, those picks won’t go to NYG/MIN. Of course, if the league lets ATL/MIN settle this with direct compensation to MIN ….

comp from ATL, they might get the edge on trading up over NYG.

Except if NE doesn't want to drop out of the Top 10.
A Min/Atl pick swap would be the trump card.
Because we still had time to work out a contract. Why would he sign with us if he knew what Philly was going to offer.
