What happened: Adam Schefter is approaching his 17-year mark with the company, guaranteeing at least three additional seasons on air. Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports reported last week that the pact runs several years into the 2030s. The reporter earned $9 million annually under his previous contract.

Why it matters: The network's current broadcast agreement with the NFL runs through the 2030 season. Retaining the centerpiece of its reporting infrastructure aligns with the league acquiring a 10 percent equity stake in the company. The long-term commitment ensures stability for draft, free agency, and breaking news coverage across all platforms.

What to watch: Watch for formal confirmation of exact contract duration and updated compensation figures as the upcoming 2026 NFL season approaches. Training camps open across the league later this month, where news breaking and roster updates will resume in full force.
