NFL asked writer to keep Cris Carter's comments off the record

The NFL knew about Cris Carter’s “fall guy” comments all along, and the man covering the 2014 NFC Rookie Symposium has finally told his side of the story.

Robert Klemko of MMQB.com was that man, and he detailed his decision to go along with the league’s request that he not report on Carter’s comments in 2014.

“I only agree to these omissions when the subject matter is immaterial to what I gather is the larger point of the story, which, in the case of the symposium, I believed Carter’s comment was,” Klemko wrote today.
