Breaking: Work days ends without Falcons, Eagles been punished-Adam Schefter reported.

The NFL is expected to impose punishments on the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles for tampering allegations involving Kirk Cousins and Saquon Barkley, respectively.

Although ESPN’s Adam Schefter indicated these punishments were “likely” to be announced this week, it appears that any formal announcement has been delayed. It’s not uncommon for plans to change, especially after potential announcements are leaked.

Despite the delay, there is no immediate deadline for these sanctions, particularly if they involve the forfeiture of 2025 draft picks. This gives the league flexibility to announce the penalties anytime before the next NFL Draft in April.

Schefter’s report implied that both teams would face significant penalties, with the Falcons likely receiving a harsher punishment than the Eagles. The exact nature and severity of the penalties remain to be seen, as does the NFL’s transparency regarding the evidence and details of the investigation.

Regardless of the timing, the expectation is that the league will take action, potentially shaping team strategies and operations for the upcoming season and beyond.
