Not a good sign

If any team gets a fine, it's going to be Carolina who agreed to a deal in principal with the UDFA before the draft was over and not the Saints, who drafted him. I know we all expect the Saints to be treated unfairly, but technically they didn't offer him anything as far as we know. They were trying to convince Stevens to come to New Orleans. When his agent broke off contact, the Saints simply took the decision out of his hands.
