Thought it was of interest. We had interest in Shepard.

I know you can talk to players, but don't think actually signing is allowed. I'm sure it will slide, but seems a bit sketch.

Interesting. Normally I'd go "meh," but you never know how hammer-handed Goodell will react to the smallest of infractions.

I don't think the eagles gm would be dumb enough to actually do this. The eagles may have told him they wanted to sign him as a FA, but actually sending him a contract and the excepting it before the draft is over? Seems far fetched.
