Eagles, Cardinals Settle Tampering Investigation With Pick Swap 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Apr 28, 2023 12:16 am

The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles have settled a tampering investigation by trading picks in the 2023 and 2024 draft. 

The teams are swapping third-round picks in 2023 (a 28-pick difference), and the Cardinals will receive the Eagles\' fifth-round pick in 2024.

In a joint statement, the teams explained that Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort had a phone conversation with Eagles defensive coordinator — and now Cardinals coach — Jonathan Gannon in the days following the NFC Championship.

The conversation was a violation of rules. The statement contends that the Cardinals self-reported the issue.
