Following their decision on an investment pertaining to the Philadelphia Eagles’ signing of former New York Giants standout running back Saquon Barkley, the NFL issued a statement. The NFL determined that the Eagles had not broken the anti-tampering guideline of the league, according to several reports. The Atlanta Falcons weren’t so fortunate with the NFL’s inquiry into Kirk Cousins’ signing, but the Eagles were allowed off the hook.
The NFL was looking into whether the Eagles violated any rules following remarks made by Penn State head coach James Franklin, as was previously reported on GH:

The NFL will look into whether the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons violated any regulations early in the offseason by attempting to sign players before the free agency negotiation period began on Monday, according to a number of sources. They might receive a harsh penalty.

In an apparent attempt to leak information to the media, Penn State head coach James Franklin revealed that Eagles general manager Howie Roseman had spoken with Saquon Barkley prior to Monday, utilising Penn State as a platform for Philadelphia’s attempt to recruit the former Nittany Lion.
