Rapoport did not tweet any other messages on Friday. He is typically busy tweeting NFL-related news during the football season, so seeing him not tweet was odd.

Rapoport has been criticized at times for his reporting. But Rapoport is regarded as the second-most prolific NFL reporter, behind ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
