Mike Florio questions Adam Schefter over $150 million Josh Allen report: ‘ESPN ignored that’
NY Post
ProFootballTalk founder Mike Florio called out ESPN insider Adam Schefter again after their clashing reports about the Jaguars re-signing Pro Bowl pass rusher Josh Allen to a five-year contract.
Florio took issue with Schefter’s reporting — which said Allen’s new contract is worth $150 million ($30 million per year) with $88 million guaranteed — because he (Florio) was first to report that the deal was slightly less, at $141.25 million.
“(It’s not a $150 million contract. It’s not a huge difference at $141.25 million, but why use a number that isn’t the true number?)” Florio wrote in a post on X, which quote-tweeted Schefter’s report.
The Post reached out to Florio for clarification on his reporting, as a previous story by “PFT” initially said the deal was worth $150 million.
Florio explained that his website put $150 million in its initial story when reports first emerged of the Allen deal Wednesday morning.
Florio then got the full details and reported in a post that went up at 1:33 p.m. Wednesday that the base value is actually $141.25 million with an average of $28.25 million per year.
