It’s well-known by now among sports fans that prominent insiders like ESPN’s Adam Schefter and former NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski don’t get much sleep.
Adam Schefter is breaking NFL news around the clock on social media, especially during the NFL season. From trades to signings to suspensions to off-the-field news, Schefter never misses a bet.
As if Schefter doesn’t have enough on his plate as ESPN’s top reporter, it sounds like the Worldwide Leader in Sports is considering assigning him another powerful position in the company.
According to a report from Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, Schefter is a candidate to replace Wojnarowski as ESPN’s top NBA insider. “Woj” retired from reporting two weeks ago to take on the GM role at his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University:
“It would be the biggest “Woj bomb” since Adrian Wojnarowski announced his retirement from journalism. But Adam Schefter could be a candidate to replace Wojnarowski as ESPN’s senior NBA insider, Front Office Sports has learned.
Under this fascinating scenario, the top NFL news-breaker would cover both the NFL and NBA as what a source called the “Ultimate Insider.” Schefter, ESPN’s senior NFL insider, has previously moonlighted as a sideline reporter during NBA telecasts.”

McCarthy emphasized that Adam Schefter replacing Wojnarowski is still “a long way from this happening.” One source told McCarthy that the beloved ESPN reporter “is not a candidate” to replace Wojnarowski, so make of it as you will.
Wojnarowski and Schefter are considered the top insiders of their respective sports in this era. Woj was previously the top NBA insider at Yahoo Sports before moving to ESPN in 2017, where he spent seven years.
Adam Schefter Could Handle It
McCarthy noted in his report that Schefter loves breaking news, so of course he could embrace the opportunity to do it for the second-biggest professional sports league in the United States.
If there’s one person who is cut out to handle the insider duty for two top sports on the world’s biggest sporting network, it’s none other than Mr. Schefter. And given ESPN’s goal of saving money by cutting back other prominent positions, they’d save a lot of cash by giving Schefter double duty instead of having to pay millions to another individual NBA insider.
