Quote:This. Alfie's part of the new generation of reporters that wants to get it out out there first, regarless if it's factual or not. True reporting means being accurate and credible. Team websites around the league don't report player signings until the ink has dried on the contract.


It's ironic that Alfie says we don't know how UDFA works. Hilarious since obviously he's the one who doesn't know anything about it even though it's quite simple. They're FREE AGENTS who can sign with any team in the league. The team or teams make an offer then the player SIGNS with that team. After signed, that player is officially a member of the team. That's when it should be reported. Alfie wants to be first, not correct. That's the problem with "reporting" these days. If Alfie had gone to journalism school, he would've learned that in Journalism 101. If I were a reporter, I'd rather be the last guy to report something and 100% accurate than be the 1st guy to report a bunch of rumors.
