Word on the street is that Caesars Sportsbook is eager to lure away ESPN’s top NFL expert, Adam Schefter. As Schefter’s agreement expires next year, Caesar’s senses an opportunity to make a significant impact in the sports media realm. They’ve already recruited former ESPN figures Kenny Mayne and Trey Wingo, but the pursuit of Schefter will be intense, with DraftKings and FanDuel also said to be in the running.
ESPN aims to retain Schefter and has allegedly granted him additional duties, even permitting him to report on the NBA if he desires. Nevertheless, the environment is evolving. Conventional networks are seeking to reduce expenditures, while sports betting platforms possess substantial funds and are prepared to invest heavily in renowned personalities. Schefter isn’t the sole prominent figure in their sights either, with NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski also whispered to be a target for these emerging media powerhouses.
