The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

50%

Examples:

  • The article uses selective reporting by only mentioning Jones' Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination but not his down-to-down production which does not support their claim that this is a player friendly signing.
  • The author uses sensationalism by stating that there were 'more than 200 players have found a new home in the NFL' when it is not clear if this number includes all free agents or just those who signed contracts.

Conflicts of Interest

25%

Examples:

  • Signed: DI Bilal Nichols (three years, $21M)
  • Signed: RB DeeJay Dallas (three years, $8.25M)

Contradictions

75%

Examples:

  • Nichols is a rock-solid player on the interior who can contribute on all three downs, and he has some wiggle to get upfield as a passer.
  • The former No. 39 overall pick has good size at 6-foot and 195 pounds, and he recorded four interceptions to go along with nine more pass breakups over the past two seasons.

Deceptions

30%

Examples:

  • The article uses selective reporting by only mentioning Jones' Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination but not his down-to-down production which does not support their claim that this is a player friendly signing.
  • The author implies that Murphy-Bunting was able to cash in big time due to his good size and occasional splash plays without providing any context on how he compares to other cornerbacks in terms of production or value.
  • , the statement 'Gross-Matos' move to San Francisco is a head-scratcher.'
