We have some reporter beef on Twitter.
On Friday night, the Denver Broncos signed former Chargers running back to a multi-year deal.
Source: The #Broncos and RB Melvin Gordon have agreed to terms on a 2-year deal worth $16M with $13.5M guaranteed. The former #Chargers star stays in the division, creating a strong 1-2 punch with Phillip Lindsay.

Melvin Gordon had a better offer from another team, but the lure of playing in the same division as the #Chargers, that appealed to him. https://t.co/ZX9KZ4nvkc

According to Broncos beat report Mike Klis, the Buffalo Bills offered Gordon more money to play for them but he chose to sign with the Broncos.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter immediately refuted Klis’ report.
Just to be clear, Mike, Bills didn’t make any offers to Gordon. https://t.co/2NmiZpzmyL

And Klis fired back.

But Adam wouldn’t back down.
Agent reached out to Bills; Bills never made offer. https://t.co/kJMYXFLBca

Who knows who’s in right on this report but it’s pretty funny that two reporters would go at it in public like this.
