A recent report from Adam Schefter indicates the Atlanta Falcons won't walk away from Kirk Cousins tampering charges unscathed.
"I'm not allowed to really discuss it right now while it's under review, but I got a lot of confidence in our people that we did the right thing," Morris said at the NFL's annual meetings.
Owner Arthur Blank expressed a similar sentiment, although he added that he will accept the results of the investigation no matter what they hold. "The tampering deal, we obviously don't believe we tampered, and we shared all the information with the league," Blank said."And they'll review the process and the facts and they are in the middle of doing that, and whatever the result is, we'll deal with it."."Sources believe the discipline, which is likely to involve draft picks, is expected to be more severe for the Falcons."In both cases, the punishment came the year after the wrongdoing.
If and when the Falcons punishment is announced, it doesn't appear that this week's draft will be affected.
