The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
85%
Examples:
- The author claims that the NFL salary cap has increased by 13.6 percent from last year's cap of $224.8 million to this year's cap of $255.4 million per team, when it actually only increased by $17 million.
- The author states that the increase in revenue is directly tied to the league's revenue growth, but it was limited in 2022 and 2023 because the repayment of those benefits was subtracted from the final calculations. With all of the benefits repaid at this point, the 2024 cap number more closely reflects the increase in revenue.
Conflicts of Interest
50%
Examples:
- The author has a potential conflict of interest in reporting on the NFL salary cap as he is a paid contributor to ESPN, which benefits from higher viewership and engagement during major sporting events like the Super Bowl.
Contradictions
100%
Examples:
- The article states that there are three teams -- San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks -- that ESPN's Roster Management System projected to be over the cap as of Friday morning and should be under the cap now that the actual cap number is established. However, this information is not accurate.
