Adam Schefter blasts broadcaster for claim about Eagles locker room

Adam Schefter addressed the rumor during a Wednesday appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic’s “The John Kincade Show.” The ESPN NFL insider said he spoke with an Eagles source who told him “none of that S-word happened.”

“By the way, I don’t even know if the National Enquirer would write something like that,” Schefter said. “I texted somebody in the organization yesterday and was like, ‘What is this?’ The text back, the quote was, ‘None of that S-word happened.’

“That’s what qualifies as a report. You can just go say whatever you want and it gets clicks and people hear about it. Was somebody with another player’s woman or something? Who knows, I’m just telling you somebody in the organization was pretty adamant yesterday that none of that happened.”

Schefter added that people are looking for reasons to help explain how the Eagles lost six of their final seven games after such a hot start. The reporter said Philadelphia was simply never able to right the ship after being blown out at home by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

There was definitely some tension in the Eagles’ locker room at some point. An anonymous player even criticized A.J. Brown over the star wide receiver’s body language late in the year.

Of course, frustration is normal when a team is losing. That does not mean there was some unforgivable incident that led to an implosion, which is essentially what Carton claims he heard.
