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.

She also received a direct message from Schefter.
