Falcons Twitter reacts to losing fifth-round pick for tampering

Key part of the NFL’s findings on the #Falcons: The violations were found to have occurred *during* the two-day negotiating window, not before it opened, e.g. talking to players about flights after they’d (legally) agreed to terms. Hence, less discipline than in some other cases. https://t.co/e86iseHblU

Only losing a 5th is one of the best case scenarios for the Falcons. Especially after rumors that the penalty could have been severe. https://t.co/btyJTmh0nP

Why would Falcons talk directly to players about travel arrangements and risk tampering violation when they were already legally talking to their agents and could have just done it through them? (Hint: They weren’t talking about travel arrangements.)

Slap on wrist. But did we expect any REAL punishment with the Falcons CEO as the head of the Competition Committee? https://t.co/ElQQ9nwhOC

This is complete garbage. They are clearly lying by saying there was no contact prior to the tampering window. What a complete joke. So, the Falcons get a slap on the wrist, and the Vikings get nothing? Way to screw up another thing @NFL. https://t.co/L1awlZ0wnY
