“I’ve had dinner with this guy. I share an agent with this guy. I have nothing against him personally. Much the opposite,” Wright said. “But Ian Rapoport’s tweet about Travis Kelce’s contract … this is now the second time in a couple weeks that Rapoport has, via his very popular and followed Twitter account, blatantly misinformed the public.”
“I’m not breaking this news. (Kelce) signed a deal that is a one-year, $12 million deal that has $3 million in earnable incentives. That is the effective deal he signed,” Wright explained.
“There is absolutely no shot, even if Travis decides, ‘I want to keep playing,’ that he is going to get a $40 million balloon payment in early March. Everyone knows that, which is why, if your goal is to inform the public, report the actual information. The real actionable intel is Travis Kelce is on a de facto one-year, $12 million deal where he can make $3 million in incentives.”
“It cannot be up to $57 million. It can’t be,” Wright said. “I’m not Edward R. Murrow, and I’m not even a journalist. But if you’re going to consider yourself a reporter and your job is to inform the public about news, then you cannot willingly put out intentionally wildly misleading information because you want the guy who runs Milk Honey Sport to owe you a favor.”
