Adam Schefter talks to Colts K Adam Vinatieri about his expectations to set the NFL's all-time scoring record this season (6:06), the favorite kicks of his career (9:09), the similarities between. 2 days ago  On the draft preview episode of #VikingsAtHome, Paul Allen is joined by ESPN's Adam Schefter to break down players that could be options for the.

Adam Schefter gets it right 99% of the time, which makes his rare misses that much more glaring. Today, he had one of those gaffes, teasing a piece of COVID news on Twitter he was preparing to announce on ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown that turned out to be much different than what people assumed.

When Schefter tweets a note like this, the assumption is it's about a player or coach or front office member or someone of note who has something to do with a team. Turns out it was about NFL senior VP of officiating Al Riveron, who missed being in the replay booth in Week 1 because he had COVID.

This news was met with a collective 'why the hell did you tease this' reaction. While Riveron is a notable name in the NFL ref world, he's not exactly notable. Unless you are a well-informed NFL aficionado, you've probably never heard of Riveron before now. Another issue with the tweet was it came shortly after Ian Rapoport tweeted out the good that no players tested positive on Saturday.

Schefter's teaser tweet felt distasteful given the seriousness of COVID. Nearly 200,000 Americans have died from the disease. Trying to drum up viewership by using it as a reason to tune in isn't exactly an upstanding move from a reporter with a sterling reputation. Then again, no one bats 1.000 so we also should give Schefter the benefit of the doubt here.

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to trade Carson Wentz in the coming days in what would be the latest blockbuster quarterback deal to rock the NFL, league sources told ESPN.

The most pertinent questions now become where, when and for what. But it could happen as early as this week, per league sources, even as the Eagles continue to insist to other teams that they would be happy to bring Wentz back to Philadelphia.

The Eagles are said to be looking for, in the words of one well-placed source, 'a Matthew Stafford package,' in return for Wentz. The Lions traded Stafford to the Rams last weekend for a third-round pick this year, two future first-round picks and quarterback Jared Goff, the player selected directly in front of Wentz as the top two picks in the 2016 NFL draft.

Among the teams that have expressed some level of interest in Wentz are the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts, sources told ESPN, although other teams also have called to gauge the market and see what a package for the Eagles' quarterback would look like.

It is all part of an NFL offseason that will feature a flurry of quarterback moves, with teams rushing to make sure they are not left behind. Once Wentz is traded, league sources believe it could help set the asking price for other deals such as one involving New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold.

But a potential Wentz trade has been in motion for more than a week now, with the Eagles engaged in a flurry of trade conversations shortly after Stafford was sent to Los Angeles.

Those talks escalated as the week went on, but the Eagles keep telling teams that they do not plan on trading Wentz unless they get what they believe to be the appropriate compensation. The talks so far suggest they will, per league sources, which then would make 2020 second-round pick Jalen Hurts the Eagles' starting quarterback for the coming season.

Although the Eagles do not feel rushed to trade Wentz, and nothing can be made official until the new league year begins March 17, Wentz does have a $10 million roster bonus due on the third day of the league year that Philadelphia would have to pay if its former first-round pick is on the roster. It is why a trade is expected to be agreed to long before then.

Wentz's departure also would leave the Eagles with a $34 million dead-cap charge, adding on to their challenging cap situation. But Philadelphia has known the cap challenges that were ahead for months and has a plan to address it, just as the Rams did with the departure and dead money on Goff.

New Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, who was hired as Doug Pederson's replacement, has not publicly committed to Wentz as a starter because he is fully aware that there has been a possibility that the quarterback will not be on the roster in 2021.

Nevertheless, team sources say Sirianni recently had a staff meeting in which many of the offensive coaches expressed the belief that they can help Wentz regain his Pro Bowl form.

The Eagles being open to moving Wentz in a trade supports owner Jeffrey Lurie's declaration that Pederson's firing was not primarily related to Wentz's decline in 2020.

There have been whispers over the years that Wentz has struggled at times with his ability to forge relationships across the locker room, but others believe that could have been a natural byproduct of him and the team not living up to the lofty expectations that followed the 2017 season.

By many public accounts, Wentz has handled himself with class throughout his time in Philadelphia and has received public support from many of the team's leaders over the years, including most recently Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce.

Despite efforts to ask for his reaction, Wentz was unavailable for comment. The Eagles declined comment.

It is now all coming to a head, with the Eagles engaged in trade talks that multiple league sources believe will end up as the NFL's next blockbuster quarterback trade.
