So Adam Schefter just reported that the Cardinals tampered with Jonathan Gannon right before the draft started:

Eagles and Cardinals settled a tampering investigation today involving the hiring of former Philadelphia DC Jonathan Gannon as Arizona’s HC, per sources.

Terms: Eagles traded pick No. 94 in this draft and a 2024 5th-round pick to the Cardinals for pick No. 66 in this draft. pic.twitter.com/NTl49BleJE

Good news is the Birds get the #66 pick just outside of the 2nd round for #94 and a 5th round pick. Why they had to give up a fifth I’m not sure. It’s funny this news is getting released right as the Eagles are engaging with the Falcons and Seahawks to move up. Could you imagine if #66 is the sweetener? The Eagles get Jalen Carter and the deal was happens because the Cardinals couldn’t wait for a guy who wasn’t on any team’s radars after the Texans decided to hire DeMeco Ryans. It’s a shit show out in Arizona.

And they said QGannon was a failure.

P.S. Cap!

Jonathan Gannon said he didn't know he was going to interview with the Cardinals until Howie Roseman told him on Sunday night after the Super Bowl that he was staying to interview. pic.twitter.com/vKXRhdYHhN

UPDATE: The Cardinals self-reported it to the NFL after their GM made a phone call in January. Sheesh. Even as the leader of QGannon it’s hard to not admit that stock nosedived fast:
