The teams traded draught picks and made amends. The NFL wanted fans to move on. Of course, that’s not really sports media works, and Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio lingered connected nan taxable a small longer than immoderate successful nan convention agency mightiness hope:
“So why are they hiding nan truth? One imaginable mentation is that nan circumstances surrounding nan hiring of Gannon could perchance fortify a declare that Brian Flores could make regarding Arizona’s nonaccomplishment to prosecute him for nan job, successful retaliation for his pending litigation against nan convention and aggregate teams. Another imaginable explanation, arsenic Chris Simms identified it connected Wednesday’s PFT Live, is that nan truth would spark a groundswell that would unit nan NFL to yet revolutionize its hiring cycle.”

Florio based on that grounds suggests a cover-up to debar immense changes to nan NFL’s hiring process. He suggested that nan integrity of nan crippled was astatine stake, because if Gannon was speaking to nan Cardinals during his Super Bowl prep, it could service arsenic a distraction of sorts.
“The charismatic communicative is that nan Cardinals self-reported nan ensuing violation. I still don’t bargain it. I judge nan Eagles conducted an soul investigation, and that they quickly recovered integer footprints showing that Gannon had been, for example, lining up imaginable members of his coaching unit and/or moving connected an outline of nan points to make during his day-after-the-Super-Bowl position to nan Cardinals.”

Howie wasn't huffy astatine me, I wasn't huffy astatine Howie. We some person a occupation to do. There's a communicative astir nan Gannon tampering that they're keeping nether wraps. I'm funny arsenic to what really happened. Fans should be, too. https://t.co/g13KMdKJRo
