Schefter: NFL not expected to complete tampering investigation this week

The Falcons got a rare piece of good news ahead of the draft. That news is the team should retain all of its draft picks for the 2024 NFL draft in light of the NFL’s investigation into tampering.

The Falcons look likely to lose something in its pursuit of new quarterback Kirk Cousins after the passer mentioned an impermissible discussion with the team trainer and a PR rep during the legal tampering period. I’m not sure what the Falcons didn’t understand about the “legal tampering period,” as it is a pretty clear concept that some tampering is legal while other tampering is strictly prohibited.
