NFL reporters got several stories wrong in recent weeks, whether it was Andy Reid '95 percent' certain to end up with the Arizona Cardinals, or Tim Tebow going to the Jaguars as a 'virtual certainty'.

Reporting standards have changed as the Internet has sped up the news cycle.

“Sometimes people in our business are taking shortcuts," said Peter King. "I think it’s a dangerous time. If you’re going to put something on twitter and put your nose out there, you’ve got to be pretty sure that it’s true.”

Several writer blamed agents for the misinformation.

“Agents will flat-out lie to you,” said one reporter wishing to remain in anonymous. “Teams won’t lie to you nearly as much – they’re more likely to just keep information from you. Some people are OK with floating lies from agents in exchange for scoops down the road.”
