Ravens linebackerMatthew Judon isn’t happy with ESPN reporterJamison Hensley.In a recent article by Hensley, the Ravens beat writer , “Can the Ravens afford to keepMatthew JudonorYannick Ngakoue?” He explored that question within the article, and in doing so included some reporting about a previous contract offer he says the Ravens sent toJudon.Here’s what Hensley wrote:According to a source, the Ravens tried to strike a long-term deal with Judon this summer by offering him whatZaDarius Smithreceived in Green Bay Green Bay Packers Jersey (an average of $16.5 million) but he declined.Hensley later updated his article by writing, “Judon has disputed this report.”That update was after Judon called the writer out on Twitter.MORE: The two then had a few exchanges on the social media platform.Where lying butt at? I got time today. Bro you have to stop lying, I know you want clicks and like and wanna be the peoples camp but stop lying. That weak. Matthew Judon (@man_dammn) Hi Matthew. I was told that Ravens offered you a deal similar to ZaDarius ($16.5M per season) earlier this season and it was declined. If Kenny Clark Jersey you have a comment, I would certainly add that to the piece. Ive always been fair with you. Thanks and welcome back to Twitter. Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) This isnt true who told you this if you cant tell me that were to have to think you pulling stuff outta no where. Matthew Judon (@man_dammn) I will definitely add your response to the piece. If you ever have an i sue with any of my reporting, I would be happy to listen and explain. Ive always aimed to cover you in a respectful manner in your five years in Baltimore. Hope you have a great offseason. Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) Okay look this dude is lying if the ravens did offer me during the season they wouldnt tell you because its against leagues rules. And me and my team aint talking to dawg so where he getting his info? Matthew Judon (@man_dammn) Inresponses to other Twitter users, Judon clarified his argument and further explained why he was upset with Hensley. The linebacker said Za’Darius Smith Jersey Hensley previously reported thatJudon asked for $20 million-plus “this is the second time hes lied without contacting me first. But yall aint know that part.”In another response, Judon said his i sue is mostly with fans who see what Hensley reports and then get angry.Its not that its the lying part. Its fans/people out here that go over board and after seeing his comments then come to me AND MY FAMILY talking about fu and why would you ask for that. And I get it ignore it but you get 40 saying fu because someone lying you gone feel someway Matthew Judon (@man_dammn) Things took a weird turn, however, when Judon continued Chandon Sullivan Jersey his complaints on Instagram.There, Judon threatened to leak photos of Hensley unle s he apologized.”I know y’all don’t know because I just found out this year, but you have about a month to sign a long term deal after being franchise tagged,” Judon wrote in an Instagram Story. “If a deal doesn’t get done in that time, ain’t no deal or no talking between the two parties. @Jamison.hensley so I’m waiting on your ESPN sourced apology or I’m leaking these photos I got with you in the strip club.” There’s also a screenshot on the alleging to be from Judon’s IG story (along with a screenshot of the IG post above). In that post, Judon also threatensHensley.”Bruh you could have just called me trash and left the lies outta it,” the post says. “Now you got these fans in their feelings while I’m trying to stream. Now say sorry or I’m going to tell your wife you’re cheating on her.” Reporters rarely reveal their sources, and there’s no need forHensley to say who gave him this information.This also seems like a pretty trivial story to getthisupset about. Why did Allen Lazard Jersey Judon feel the need to threatenHensley twice over a fairly minor piece of reporting? It’s fine to respond to the report and say it’s innaccurate, but there’s no need for threats, especially on such a minor topic.UPDATE: ESPN did release a statement on this matter, but it wasn’t the apology Judon was looking for.In a , ESPN defendedHensley.”We stand by Jamison Hensley’s reporting, and Hensley added Matt Judon’s perspective within the story. Regardle s, the since-deleted personal attacks toward him were completely uncalled for.”
