The Athletic is among numerous suitors reportedly planning to pursue ESPN's Adam Schefter and Adrian Wojnarowski, per Michael McCarthy and A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports.
Sources told McCarthy and Perez those media outlets "have sent word to the ESPN pair's reps that they're ready to make offers as soon as they're able."
The reported interest in Schefter and Wojnarowski comes one week after the New York Times Co. announced that it planned to buy The Athletic for $550 million in cash.
Schefter has been ESPN's top NFL insider for 12 years, while Wojnarowski has been breaking NBA news for the Worldwide Leader since 2017.
