Report: Panthers deny they had in-draft deal in place for Mississippi State QB Tommy Stevens
The New Orleans Saints traded into the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft and selected former Mississippi State QB Tommy Stevens.
Stevens was expected by many to go undrafted, so why did the Saints feel the need to make the move? Well, according to the Saints, there may have been some illegal activity going on with other teams.
Per a report, the Saints claim the Carolina Panthers had an undrafted free agent deal with Stevens already in place before the draft ended, which would be a violation of NFL rules.
Per Pro Football Talk, the Panthers deny such a deal was in place:
“We didn’t have a deal in place with the player,” Panthers spokesman Steve Drummond told PFT via text message. “We had conversations like every other team.”
PFT also cited a league source who predicted that both teams would be punished for this incident. What those punishments would entail remains to be seen.
It’s funny that both teams could be punished for whatever infraction happened to try and land, of all players,….. Tommy Stevens.
No kidding. I would be surprised if he even made a roster.
I would normally agree with both of you because, at best, Stevens was a distraction. However, seeing as you are both from out of town…go **** yourselves and burn in ****.
We’ll pray for you.
:facepalm
“both of you are from out of town” ????
What does this have to do with anything? So are many of our players. You must live in a tiny tiny world.
Please pray for him. He will need it.
Don’t mess with Lil MissBucky in Maroon and White!
Well yeah, they say that now!
Well, 44, one is an Auburn fan and one is a Georgia fan; hence, on a Mississippi State board, they are from out of town metaphorically speaking, of course, you stupid b***h.
There are no Georgia fans here. Keep trying though. You could be that blind squirrel at some point.
Yeah, well, you get the point, Tigger.
Tell’em Girlfriend! I am not messing with you anymore!
