NFL Announces Heavy Penalties Against The Atlanta Falcons For Tampering Violations Involving Kirk Cousins

The Atlanta Falcons tampering case against then-Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has finally come to an end, and the NFC South team will pay heavily for it.

It appears that the league found wrongdoing on Atlanta’s part.

The NFL levied penalties against the Falcons, docking them a fifth-round pick and imposing hundreds of thousands in fines. The league stated that the Falcons violated the league’s anti-tampering policy with not only Kirk Cousins but also Darnell Mooney and Charlie Werner.

In addition to the draft pick, the team was fined $250,000, and general manager Terry Fontenot was fined $50,000.

While the policy permits clubs to engage with and negotiate all aspects of an NFL player contract with the certified agent of any prospective unrestricted free agent during the two-day negotiating period, any direct contact between the player and an employee or representative of the club is prohibited,” wrote Pelissero for NFL Network. “This includes discussion of travel arrangements or other logistical matters, which the club acknowledges took place with regard to these three players.”
