Who cares...it isn't the Pats so the NFL will half ass look into it
Well, I suppose that from this year forward, every Eagles accomplishment gets tagged with an *, eh?
But could the NFL eventually get sued for uneven enforcement?

NFL has no comment on possible violation by Eagles with Wentz/Goff talks
On Thursday, PFT reported that the Eagles secured a verbal commitment from quarterbacks Jared Goff and Carson Wentz that both would accept offsets if the Eagles traded up to No. 2 and made one of them the selection.
Some have suggested that the Eagles violated the rules by engaging in pre-draft discussions with agents representing incoming rookies, pointing out that only the team that holds the first overall pick may negotiate terms before the draft.
The NFL declined comment on the situation. Whether the NFL actually does anything about it becomes a question for the vague, arbitrary process that arises from a habit widespread violations of the rules and limited, selective enforcement.
I wonder what Senator Spector would think about this #integrity if he were still here.

Goodell: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by lawyers with computers. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Kraft? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Patriots, and you curse the League Office. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That the Eagles non-punishment, while tragic, probably saved the league. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves the league. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, integrity, Article 46, integrity (intentionally repeated). We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something like the woeful Jets. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a properly inflated football, and take a three point stance. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
A team would have to be the one that sued. So sure, theoretically it could happen, but I am not holding my breath.But could the NFL eventually get sued for uneven enforcement?
This is an interesting idea. Jets owner openly tampers (I don't care who says Woodster didn't. He did) and they get 100k. Chiefs do I really don't now what and get hit kinda hard. If the Eagles get hit pretty hard I'd be interested to see what may happen. Most likely nothing because they are part of that now well known sadistic organization that's the NFL.
It would take a private suit that we all know it'll be labeled worthless by media and the law. They need to find that one Judge that doesn't care about threats or his own career really to say lets go. Where that lawyer is, I don't know.
