“The NFL's investigation into alleged tampering charges against the Falcons for their involvement with then-free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Eagles for their involvement with then-free agent running back Saquon Barkley is ongoing and could reach a conclusion as early as this week, per sources.

No
No.
No either they will swap first round picks or we will probably most likely lose a second round pick
No. But if they do heads need to roll
Kirk's decision making already looking bad and he ain't even hit the field yet. 🤦🏾♂️
Exactly and our delusional fans as usual don’t see it till the end then they knew it all along, Kirk is not that professionals
Hopefully it is not an omen for things to come
Vikings fan here, it's a omen of things to come. Statistically he's great, in high pressure games he crumbles.
Kirk made a dumb mistake, and Falcons media team didn’t warn him about that question.
He’s been around long enough Tom know why to stfu

This could be a pretty severe case of tampering. Kirk is a high profile QB $$. Top 5 in NFL career earnings. #1 Free agent this offseason. Vikings were actively trying to work a deal out before FA, and the Falcons were able to sign him post tampering. When you start adding it up this is the most prestigious tampering case in NFL history.
🤦♂️ not even close. Embarrassing, delete this.

Of course it will be severe. It's Atlanta.
If we didn't have McKay then we wouldn't have needed to pump in the noise because our team wouldn't have sucked and people would actually have been at the games.
Falcons are looking to be too good this year so the NFL has to put a stop to that.
lol OK.
@@PatriotWatchUSAoh we have the dumb@ss Bears troll that doesn't understand that the Falcons pick is going to the Vikings, you know your rival. Casuals...
Something about this situation and the nfl comes off sus af..to the point I don't take your comment as sarcasm..
@@PatriotWatchUSAwhat’s funny
@@waylothaking3155 The putting a stop to that is funny
Man wat was kirk doing the fucking season haven't even started
Yall high as hell if u don't think it's gonna be a 1st or 2nd. That stuff at 3:20 that was about a coach. This is a starting qb. Probably won't be this year tho
Not only that , if he was talking to Darnell Mooney and recruited him during an illegal tampering period....then they might take the 1st pick from them.
Everyone knew Kirk was coming to Atl. I’m shocked nobody reminded him not to speak about visits so we will lose our 1st rd next yr
Any penalty involving draft capital, outside of a pick swap between MIN-ATL, won’t be applied until next year. The NFL isn’t going to cripple any team with such short notice.
I'm a Vikings fan and I don't expect any punishment that includes a 1st Rd pick for Atlanta. My guess is a heavy fine and a 3rd RD pick for MN.
Noti gang gang in the building
Kirk hasn't played a down yet and already in falcons mid season form 😂😂 smh
The jokes are writing themselves
Dude you should think about getting your fact straight. You said that with a potential pick swap with Atlanta that the Vikings would have only one pick in the first round which isn’t true! They would have pick #8 & #23 in the 1st round!
Now we might not have a big draft next year but if we play this years draft right we gon be good fasho
They Gone Try and Take Our 1st Round Pick!😞
Watch, They Always Make and Example out of Us, Whenever We're into Sum thing!
Are y'all going to be live on Thursday??
Yes for like the first 18 picks
yes
@@FalconsTV Hell yeah!!
Kirk Cousins has already cost the Falcons by having a big mouth. Why did we choose him again? SMH!!!
Turner Latu or Arnold... As long as we get one of these dudes we will be all right
Have to come away with YOUR guy
Cousins and the Falcons both acted like a kid who just had to open their X-Mas present early.
only the agent and team can talk. not player to team.
I expect a 5th and a next year 7 if we have those
You don’t want it to be that severe because you are a fan of the falcons, just cause you don’t want it to happen doesn’t mean it won’t happen
Your screwed, your toast, shit will hit the fan.🤣🤣🤣
😒😒😒
*you're
Miami didn’t even land Brady and Payton, the fact that Cousins actually signed because of the tampering this will certainly be a 1st round pick.
That's also something worth noting
I don’t think it’s going to be bad he called to find out who was going to take care of his injury no big deal
Vikings fan here, but not trying to troll at all. I’m just curious what y’all are thinking what the outcome of this will be since this has been an under-the-radar storyline that drastically impacts both our teams. Doubt they make you forfeit the pick straight up, but could see a situation where they force a swap this week from 8 to either 11 or 23 given there being precedent of that last year. I think the Vikings could make the argument that Kirk was playing at an MVP level last year and the objective measurement of an $180M contract warrants a pick swap. The NFL rule book has pretty harsh language for tampering and I could see them trying to make an “example” of the Falcons given how clear of a case this seems. But obviously I’m biased here and figured anything can happen
With that being said, I love Kirk and hope y’all enjoy him too. Your team is built for his play style and I look forward to seeing what he can do with Bijan in the backfield.
I don’t expect anything to happen this season. It will probably be a 2025 and 2026 pick. If it is based on what is out there then it will probably be a 3rd or later pick loss next year and a later in 2026 like KC. He mentioned talking to the trainer on Tuesday after agreeing on Monday so at that time he was leaving Minnesota. I wouldn’t expect anything this year either way if it isn’t announced soon because every other team that violated the tampering rule got a chance to appeal.
@@scottburns5302 yeah I think that’s definitely a valid rationale. I think that I personally think that the scale of this case trumps previous ones in recent memory given the caliber of player is unprecedented (4yr/$180M franchise QB) and would therefore be for more than a 3rd. From what I’ve been hearing from Vikings reporters, apparently they’re going to try to argue that they were in the midst of negotiating what will likely be the largest non-QB contract in NFL history for Justin Jefferson and that the Falcons tampering hindered their ability to do so and they should therefore be compensated for it (full disclosure, Kirk was gone and this isn’t a real reason but I’m sure they’ll milk it).
As for the trainer situation, I believe he said he met with them, which contextually is pretty big given he’s coming off of a torn Achilles and the signing was announced an hour after the start of the new year. I personally doubt the Falcons would be reckless enough to offer that type of money + guarantees unless their own doctors were able to evaluate, so I think that that definitely factors in as having an advantage over other teams and “hindering” (again, we weren’t going to re-sign him) the Vikings ability to negotiate with first-rights.
Tbh I think punishment gets handed out this year if the two teams settle like PHI/AZ did. But if they don’t, it could take a lot of time to get litigated and for the NFL to come to a decision. We likely won’t know for sure until the morning of the actual draft because the NFL has shown that they have zero problem with handing down punishments on draft day a la last year.
@@JT-qo9ej He said met and changed it to spoke to. He was taken for a physical as soon as the league year started so the process was extremely fast. I get the idea that there should basically be a "qb tax" but I think most people knew once his dead money hit, he was done in Minnesota. He even mentioned he gave them until he accepted the contract on Monday so from that statement, the only thing that hindered MIN was themselves. I don't expect them to settle because they didn't truly hinder MIN based on what is out there. If they settle, it is likely that they did more than we will ever know.
Truthfully, if the penalty is next year, if I was managing the Falcons, I would go out of my way to make to lower the value of the pick this season. Get the team in the playoffs and make a run so you are in the 20s instead of the top half to make losing it more manageable.
This will age well
Falcons franchise is a dumpster fire. Gives $180 million an over the hill injury prone quarterback, then draft an another quarterback at 8, plus we’ll get with tampering charges on cousins.
This is a QB here we are talking about. They are the most important position on the team. So I understand why the NFL is going to try to make a point with the falcons for tampering with a QB and undermining the team he was currently on
So like I said a few weeks a go. It will be a 3rd round pick and the reason they HAVE to announce it before the draft this week is for trading reasons. Everyone needs to know if its this years draft pick or next years. Most likely a 3rd and a fine for next years draft. That is just my couple of coppers worth.
I think the main reason the investigation has taken as long as it has would be that the league was looking to see just how far back did it start. Cousins and his wife were looking at properties in the Atlanta area about a week after the regular season ended. Did it begin then? When Cousins agent began distributing videos of Kirk doing workouts, did that prompt the Falcons to put out feelers via Kyle Pitts? At the combine Vikings head coach Kevin O Connell stated on live television that "front office types" from a specific team were openly negotiating with Cousins agent Mike McCartney. A lot of questions will be answered in the coming days.
So no one wants to talk about how Kirk is an idiot 😂😂😂, this is kinda his fault. I hope this works out I just don’t know
Got most of the money and gon cost draft capital. He's getting on my nerves.
If atl dont pass on the goat coach they dont lose picks. Blank an idiot for listening to the clowns running his team
We most likely will lose our second round pick which would suck but necessary OR we will swap our first round pick which honestly would help Minnesota a lot
The question is, last year the eagles/cardinals mediated their own pick swap before the league ruled.
Would ATL be willing to swap 8 for 23 or not and risk losing their 1st or 2nd round pick? To me, it would make sense to trade 1sts even if they drop to 23 rather than losing a pick for nothing. If u look at draft trade charts, swapping those 1sts makes more sense for the falcons
Agreed because we are talking about a starting QB that would have a major affect on their team. Atlanta should offer the swap and then the League will approve it.
The hate be real
I doubt we will lose a pick this year. It would be the next and possibly the following year. Maybe a third and a fifth.
We're not losing a 1st this or any year, getting a huge fine and some sort of wrist slapper(maybe a mid round draft pick next year)
I’m not so sure of that bud. Falcons just tampered with and acquired a high profile QB for a large contract. The chiefs lost a 3rd and a 5th for a mid tier WR and didn’t even get him signed. In 2016 the NFL said they wanted to come after teams harder for tampering. This is the biggest case of tampering since then. And you know how the NFL is when it comes to QBs. Pretty sure they about to lay down the hammer.
The league just gonna take the 3rd rounder we got from the Jags for Ridley
i bet it’ll just be a 4 game suspension or something like that
Hell yeah i hope they throw in the mooney thing and give the bears a comp pick or something lol
No
Guys, we aren’t losing any picks this year. Chill out.
There’d be no reason for them to say they’re going to announce this week then. Last year the NFL announced tampering punishment for the 2023 draft the day of the draft
@@JT-qo9ejthey can announce it this week but also have to factor in the draft planning that Falcons and other teams have done. If you announce picks taken away the day before the draft, that throws off all the draft planning and have to regroup within a short notice. It’s likely to be next years picks.
Yeah I understand that, but I don’t buy it in the slightest as a reason why they’d hold off until next year. It’s called a punishment for a reason and they literally did the exact same thing for the PHI/AZ tampering case last year.
MASSIVE cope lmao
Maybe
If we trade back we need to get pick nine from the bears or no Dallas turner
Dude, you're missing the point!!! The Cardinals tampered with an assistant coach, but they admitted and worked out the pick swap with the Eagles. This is way above what the Cardinals did!!! Falcons tampered with the top free agent and most prominent QB in this free agent class, plus FALCONS DENIED the whole thing. The Vikings have filed a complaint and after the NFL is done, you will be looking at a minimum of pick 8 swap for pick 11, or a more severe punishment would be pick 8 swap for pick 23 or this years 2nd rounder plus next years 3rd rounder. There is no way Falcons will get away with cheating while the rest of the NFL and the entire world is waiting for a verdict. This stripping of the Falcons will be to send a strong message to teams that the NFL is serious about tampering. Arthur Blank has already acknowledged the Falcons will accept whatever punishment the NFL decides so perhaps he already knew they were guilty.
Classic Falcons
The Vikings would still have 2 1st. I think two 4ths is a little rich but I like the idea of picking up another bite of the apple with a 4th or 5th
he met with trainers and medical staff, this wasn't a phone call. Tickets were bought. Pitts was involved and he Kirk was recruiting Mooney as well...
Players can talk to players.
@@tommylitz4543 not during legal tampering period it’s agents and teams. And sure they can talk to players but not recruit them.
@@JoeSaldana78 sure they can. Back in 2016, when Cousins franchise tag was expiring with the Redskins, Patrick Peterson and Larry Fitzgerald picked up Kirk Cousins at the airport to recruit him for the Cardinals. They, and an O-Lineman, whose name I forget, played a few rounds of golf together, trying to bring him on board with AZ, back when Dan Snyder was dragging his feet on resigning Kirk.
And Cousins talking with some of the assistant training staff and telling them how he looks forward to meeting them soon, isn't the same, or on nearly the same level as if Cousins had met with the HC or GM or team owner.
I don't think this amounts to a hill of beans.
T trade back with the raiders get 13 and a second round pick
Not a horrible idea I like it
Atlanta could be placed on double secret probation and lose their second helping of ice cream after dinner.
Ice cream? Are you talking about Brandon or the Falcons? 😂
Might lose that 1st helping of ice cream.
Dayum dayum daaayum🤦🏽
The 8 is going to swap with the Vikings. For the 11 if their mad or they're really pissed it will swap with the 23.
No they want
I’m pretty sure Miami lost first rd pick
Yep, a 1st rounder, a 1.5 million dollar fine, and the owner suspended for 1 year. That also was what triggered Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores lawsuit against the NFL when he was Miami's head coach.
Can anyone explain to me why Vikings think they deserve the Falcons first? Im working and can't watch the whole video.
Good content but your vids are too long.
Start Panicking
I say trade back regardless the outcome of the investigation.
That's a fair idea
It won’t happen this year anyway I thought u knew more about football they will take a 25 and 26 picks
No we gotta get two thirds two 4ths wont do it
Matty ice retired 😔 saddest day in falcons history
The Falcons Goat!
Really??????? Fucking really????? When Matt Ryan took a sack in a Super Bowl that he KNEW he could not take.......THAT was the SADDEST day in Falcons history!!!
I say 3rd day pick
Rumors falcons lose pick move to last pick in 1st think cousins should be the one fine for calling
The nfl doesn’t give a shit about your falcons or Kirk cousins or ticket sales the falcons will get this year. It doesn’t nothing for the nfl in general whether he plays for Vikings or you guys.. the rumor is either a 8 and 11 pick swap or Vikings get a 3rd and send a 4th. Either way your top pick is probably not safe although you will just be moving down 3 spots.. you still will get the first defensive player either way
I think it’s only fair. They poached MN’s QB, they should loose the pick.
Hopefully Y
I think they will swap this year’s picks with the Vikings.
Now don’t go crazy bout losing a 1 rd pk we still got terry on our side an wit his mastermind we gon leave the draft with at least 3 or 4 2nd rd picks
Fines and a few draft picks won't hurt! Still building for a "Great 2024!"
Sorry Falcons fans, you're moving from #8 to #32
Your assertion that the Miami Dolphin’s tampering with Tom Bradley was more egregious because he was a future Hall of Fame player is absolutely ridiculous! Wasn’t he like 100 years old at the time? You are talking like Tom Bradley was in the prime of his career! Not sure if he was rated as the #1 free agent on the market at the time but if he was #1, so was KC! Also prior to his injury KC was having the best year of his career, so both situations were very comparable! Just because Bradley had multiple Super Bowl victories in prior unrelated years is meaningless!
Tom who?
Last time a team tampered with a quarterback the dolphins lost their first round pick
They tampered for 3 years with Tom Brady and Sean Payton. They lost a 1st and a 3rd. Its not even close to being on the same level as tampering
@@jts6736 Yes they tampered and got nothing. You tampered and got a starting QB. Believe we will be taking your pick and we thank you
@@PatriotWatchUSA "We" like you're part of the team or something while you cry about it through your phone while sitting on the couch. Vikings Fandom is full of 12 year kids apparently
@@PatriotWatchUSA Not even a Vikings fan but saying "we" like you're in their organization.. Even if Falcons lose picks, the Vikings don't get them lol. The only way a pick swap happens is if the teams settle the dispute on their own. Tired of seeing and hearing people talk about things they have no idea about
@PatriotWatchUSA Get out the comments...no one cares what u have to say
YES as you should
Unless new evidence comes out besides Kirk talked to a trainer AFTER agreeing to sign with the Falcons, you would have to be a complete idiot to issue a severe punishment.....unfortunately NFL has many idiots....
Kyle Pitts talked to Kirk directly about a month before free agency. What league was trying to find out was if the Falcons front office was behind that phone call.
Stop being a homer. #8 pick is gone. Will it just be taken? Given to the Vikings? Or a forced swap with one of the Vikings picks. Thats the only question.
Falcons crime was far more egregious because it was successful for a high profile pick.
The Falcons should penalize him $20 million for each of the first two seasons and recoup something of their money. Don't know who was more stupid, him or them.
If we loose a 2nd this year, trade back
You gonna lose a 1st. Thank You from th Chicago Bears
Agreed
@PatriotWatchUSA that first is going to your rival the Vikings. So you need to be carefull what you wish for.
@@jpscharged I'm not concerned in the least. The Viking have always had our left overs.
@@jpscharged You don't make any sense. If you lose the pick it will be going to the Bears. What the Vikings have to do with I have no idea
Even if they did take our first round pick for the first time in a long time we've made good choices in the off-season and I'm okay with that decision if it comes down to it. Don't get me wrong we still have a lot of work to do on defense but I have faith in our coach for once.
Overblown
Lmaooo it’s funny how Yall think the nfl gives a f*** about Atl 8th pk in the 1st rd they don’t care about what this can do to the franchise going forward do y’all not remember what happened to the dolphins like wtf let’s not be naive about the situation
Never would have happened if they would have hired BB.. 🙄.. Enjoy coach "Rah"..
BB loss 1st round picks for spying and deflating balls😄
Yeah lol good luck with cousins he always chokes in the playoffs
As a bears fan, well definitely take that 8th overall pick
Kirk Cousin came in snitching he better when a Super Bowl
Don’t be too upset when you lose that 8th pick.
No they’re not? They deserve to lose more than the 8th pick!! You hope they don’t! Kirk was visiting schools 3 weeks before legal tampering started! They cheated and should pay point blank!!!
