Cardinals swap 3rd-round picks with Eagles for tampering with Gannon

The Arizona Cardinals traded the 66th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to the Philadelphia Eagles for two lower selections to settle a tampering investigation based on Jonathan Gannon's hiring.

Philadelphia sent the No. 94 pick and a 2024 fifth-round choice to Arizona. The 66th and 94th selections both fall in the third round.

Arizona hired Gannon after Super Bowl LVII. He had been the Eagles' defensive coordinator.

"The Cardinals self-reported to the National Football League that general manager Monti Ossenfort had a phone conversation with then-Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon in the days following the NFC Championship Game, a period during which contact is not permitted under the league's anti-tampering policy," the clubs said in a joint statement.

The Eagles are now scheduled to draft twice in a five-pick span between the end of the second round and the beginning of the third, as they also have the 62nd overall pick.
