Adam Schefter has become perhaps the best-known NFL insider during his tenure at ESPN.
But, his contract was nearing an end at the Worldwide Leader, and there was speculation he could move on, perhaps to a gambling company.
However, on Thursday, ESPN announced it had reached a multi-year deal with the NFL insider, keeping him in Bristol for the next few years:

“Covering the most popular sport in the United States for the leading sports media company has been a dream combination,” Schefter said in a press release. “Every day, at each show and event, I am surrounded by the best teammates – producers, directors, researchers, production staff, and so many more – who elevate everyone around them. I love my job, feel blessed to continue and thank ESPN and Jimmy Pitaro for their consistent faith in me.”
Schefter will be in his 13th season with ESPN this fall. He’ll continue in his roles on Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown.
