An agent telling Friedman that Hanifin wants to go to Tampa is actual info if it's Hanifin's agent. It's direct and to the source.
A guy that just made a trade telling him other team's wanted the player isn't direct and it's hearsay.
If Friedman is connected he doesn't have to just go with it, and if he did but was proven wrong he wouldn't do it again.
