Adam Schefter has revealed why he left the NFL Network to go work for ESPN.

Chefter has been with The Worldwide Leader in Sports since 2015 and is a big part of the network’s football coverage as he breaks stories in real time and makes multiple television appearances every week.

The NFL insider joined The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand on his podcast this week, where he revealed he actually wanted to remain with NFLN but was lowballed by the company even after doing a lot more than his contract stipulated within the first six months.

“They were rigid and unreasonable, and when they made an offer that was not fair, I said I can’t take that and they pulled me off the air,” he told Marchand.

Schefter claimed NFL Network made him one offer and never allowed negotiations to move past it.
