The Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles have been under investigation since

free agency really saw the dust settle for tampering.

Two very different cases, but both have moved forward.

And it was just before the draft that Adam Shefter of ESPN.com reported that resolution could be announced in both cases draft week.

The NFL quickly said no it's not.

Now on Sunday Shefter reported the resolutions are likely to come this week.

And he added, citing an unnamed source, that the Falcons are expected to get it worse

in the Eagles, because the Falcons case is believed to be more egregious now.

Let's start with the Eagles because that's the easiest one to explain.

Yeah. James Franklin the head coach of Penn State the week that say

Quon Barclay jumped from the Giants to the Eagles.

Franklin said that when they were recruiting Berkeley, Howard Roseman pointed out

how many Penn State fans are in the Eagles fan base. That was it. Something Franklin said. It wasn't anything Berkeley said. Berkeley denied it. It wasn't anything Roseman said. It was James Franklin. Now the fact that the way Schefter is couching this

implies that the Eagles are going to get whacked and it clearly implies the

Eagles are in trouble that apparently whatever Franklin said was accurate

and that Barclays denial doesn't hold water and that they were able to investigate and determine

that there was a communication that Roseman was involved in. We know the precedent for that if the league

cares about precedent consistency. They took a third round pick from the chiefs in

2016 for talking directly to Jeremy Macklin then of the Eagles during the negotiating

window when you're not allowed to speak directly to the player.

So it should be a third round pick.

And I say that because if the Falcons are going to get it significantly worse than the Eagles
