Liquor store employee had Mahomes contract scoop before media
ESPN's Adam Schefter may have been the first reporter to break the news of Patrick Mahomes' record-breaking contract extension, but he wasn't the first person to be tipped off to the deal.
Hours before Schefter first tweeted about the 10-year extension Monday, a Kansas City liquor store employee named Katie Camlin shared her suspicions of the deal after selling six bottles of champagne to a team employee.

Camlin, a beer manager at Plaza Liquor, later deleted the tweet over fears that someone might lose their job, but everything turned out to be fine.
I spoke w/ the news & I also spoke with the gentleman who was in the store this morning. We are on the same page & we are okay! I wanted to make sure everyone’s job was safe & that there was no issue with the organization. I got excited & made a guess that turned out to be right

She also received a direct message from Schefter.
