Fox Sports have parted ways with NFL insider Jordan Schultz after only one season, it has emerged.
Schultz, the son of billionaire ex-Starbucks CEO mogul Howard Schultz, has broken a host of stories over recent years including Rob Gronkowski’s retirement and new deals for Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
He also hosted an NFL podcast with NBA star Draymond Green but now, as revealed by the Washington Post, Schultz has left Fox Sports.
‘He’s no longer on our air,’ a Fox spokesman told the outlet. It comes a few months after he and NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport clashed inside a Starbucks at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
Schultz also reportedly landed himself in H๏τ water over the draft, when the NFL contacted Fox after the reporter revealed teams’ picks before they were announced. Media partners are banned from tipping selections.
Schultz later ruffled feathers inside Fox after breaking the news about a game being broadcast on the network before an agreed-upon time.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was reportedly accosted by Schultz at the 2025 NFL Combine
It’s claimed that the NFL insider irked fellow reporters, with one telling the Washington Post that ‘Jordan is Saudi-wealth-funding the insider game. He’s doing what LIV did to golf.’
Schultz told the Washington Post that his Fox deal was only for a year and that he intended to leave anyway.
He claims to be in negotiations with several outlets but is also pondering creating his own media organization.
Back at the NFL Combine, security were called after Schultz and Rapoport had an X-rated ‘verbal confrontation’ in Indianapolis.
Schultz claims to have been told that Rapoport had been accusing him of offering stocks in Starbucks or Uber in exchange for information.
‘Total blasphemy, dumb, unfounded — and yet very damaging,’ he told the Washington Post.
So he confronted Rapoport and reportedly said: ‘You know what you did. And I said, “This has got to stop.” And I was very clear, if you have a problem with me, just talk to me.’
In a statement, Rapoport told the outlet: ‘I hadn’t heard that Jordan was accused of offering Uber stock as an incentive for scoops until he was screaming in my face at the now-infamous Starbucks.’
