PFT: League source predicts Saints and Panthers to be sanctioned over Tommy Stevens draft negotiations

What is the rule? That you can't talk to potential UDFAs? Or that you can't reach deals with them? Because Carolina reached a deal with Stevens that he felt obligated to stick with. So they cheated worse than we did.

Plus, every team could be proven to have cheated by virtue of the fact that each team had people signed up within 5 minutes of the draft ending. Clearly, this isn't a rule that the NFL has any desire to enforce.
