Examples:

  • The article implies that Burns has been a top-tier edge rusher when he has only recorded one 10+ sack season in his career and is ranked 12th in the NFL since 2019. This is deceptive because it misrepresents Burns’ performance as an elite player.
  • The article states that the Giants will be sending the Panthers second- and fifth-round picks for Burns, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports. However, this information is not accurate as there are no details about what these picks are worth or how they were acquired.
  • The article states that the Giants will pay up for Burns to go with Thibodeaux’s rookie deal but does not disclose how much they are actually paying him. This is deceptive because it implies that Burns is worth a significant amount of money without providing any context or justification.
