After a thorough investigation, the NFL concluded that there was not enough evidence to support the allegation that the Philadelphia Eagles tampered with signing running back Saquon Barkley. The league reviewed phone logs, text messages, and other documents related to the signing, interviewed key individuals, and stated that they may reopen the investigation if new evidence surfaces. The issue arose when it was revealed that Eagles' GM Howie Roseman had referenced the number of Penn State fans who are also Eagles fans in his pitch to Barkley, despite restrictions on direct contact during the pre-free agency period. Despite initial speculation of a potential punishment, the Eagles have not faced any penalties, and the case is considered closed unless new evidence emerges.
