Reddit User Scoops NFL Free Agent Signing While Playing Call of Duty

Former Bears offensive lineman Rashaad Coward has reportedly agreed to a contract with the Steelers. Coward has started 15 games for the Bears over the past two seasons, but what makes this story interesting is how it was first reported. Instead of Adam Schefter or Ian Rapoport getting the initial report, that honor belonged to a random Reddit user named ProbationOfficer2035.

This user was playing the video game “Call of Duty” when he was randomly teamed up with Coward’s significant other. He heard through her microphone something about a “deal” and “Pittsburgh,” and he was able to put things together through some internet sleuthing.
