    Guess this answers the question whether this is a common practice or not.

    The way Lemon spoke afterwards in his interview...his speech was such a disorganized uneducated mess that I think the Steelers thought they better call an hour before the pick because it would take that long to communicate in English with him.

    It is possible.

    Would be adding salt to the supposed black eye the team when trying to get him.


    I would imagine a draft pick + financial fine if this is to be the case.

    I don’t get it…so they can contact the agent, but not the player, if the team is not on the clock?

    They can contact the player so long as they dont interfere with a team that is on the clock that is trying to contact them.

    Unfortunately there is rock solid evidence the Steelers were talking to him and Philly couldnt reach him.

    There is rock solid evidence that the eagles reached him, despite the steelers talking to him

    I would argue the Steelers were already disciplined.

    The Cowboys and Eagles put BTA (kid slang for belt to a$$) on national television, in the Steelers own backyard, on one of the biggest football days in Pittsburgh football history.

    Natural consequences are the harshest.
