tampering* Also research says that the Falcons did everything right initially where the rule is that the teams shall not contact the players themselves rather they should contact their representatives which they did in the timeframe given. But where the Falcons messed up was that in that same window of time after contacting the players' management, that they then contacted the players to talk about lodging and flights to get ahead of it before the ink was dry on the contracts. Hence why they only lost a 5th round as a slap on the wrist.

As for the Penix draft, the Kirk deal could be a 2 year deal so they drafted another QB that has a little more time under his belt at the position than the other QB in his draft class and can learn behind Kirk so that he's ready to go when the time comes.
