It seems likely that the Atlanta Falcons are going to face tampering charges in the wake of their high-profile quarterback addition, Kirk Cousins.

After Cousins committed to the Falcons during a time referred to as the legal tampering period, multiple comments from the 13th-year veteran point to Atlanta being early on communicating with its next starter. No punishment has been handed out, but as last year's Jonathan Gannon resolution reminded us, the NFL could attempt to levy the penalty on draft day, burying the headline.

The NFL is also investigating the Philadelphia Eagles and their signing of running back Saquon Barkley. Though the evidence has not been as strong is this case.

The two items in the Cousins case that got the NFL's attention were

1- Cousins said he spoke with Falcons medical personnel before officially signing.

2- Cousins also said during his introductory presser that he offered to call wide receiver Darnell Mooney to make a pitch on the Falcon's behalf. With Mooney committing to the Falcons on Day 2 of the legal tampering period, Cousins--whose deal did not become official until a day later--is not allowed to recruit under NFL rules.

The Cardinals have already obtained three additional picks from Rounds 1-3 in this draft by trading down . Arizona sliding down helped Houston and Tennessee end up with Will Anderson Jr. and Will Levis last year. With the Cardinals not needing a QB has made this year's #4 pick desirable to quarterback needy teams.

With that being said, the Cardinals have had discussions about moving from No. 4 with several teams. The teams linked to this pick have been the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Like last season, the Cardinals have said they will not move this pick until they are on the clock. Though the team hopes to have trade parameters worked out ahead of their pick.

The Jets have traded quarterback Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos as part of a Day 3 pick swap.

The Jets acquire pick No. 203 and the Broncos get Wilson and pick No. 256. Both clubs will evenly split Wilson's $5.45MM in 2024 compensation.

Wilson was the #2 overall pick by the Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft, but has never been able to find his footing in New York during his playing time.

In his career with the Jets he has played in 34 games and has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns (25-23).

In Denver he will battle Jarrett Stidham for the starting job. It is very possible that Denver still used their first round pick on a quarterback as well.
