Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers might be celebrating an NBA championship as minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. However, things are going to get real for the reigning NFL MVP here soon. The Packers are slated to open training camp next week and there’s no indication yet that Rodgers plans on reporting with the rest of his team. As you already know, a report surfaced back in late April that Rodgers wants to be traded. Since then, he’s remained away from offseason team activities. With Green Bay preparing for the 2021 season, it’s being noted by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport that thin ..read more

NFL All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner signed a whopping five-year, $95 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday, making him one of the highest-paid defensive players in league history. To say that the 24-year-old backer has earned his keep would be an understatement. He finished last season as the top-graded linebacker per Pro Football Focus metrics, tallying 125 tackles, six passes defended and two interceptions. With Warner finally locked up on a long-term deal, the focus now turns to other young players around the NFL who might be in line for huge contract extensio ..read more

While the NFL is more of a passing league, an offense can’t dominate if it doesn’t have a running threat. There are several great running back groups in the league, but which team is set up best for ground-and-pound football based on their stable of ball carriers? Most would expect the Tennessee Titans to be No. 1 on a list of best NFL running back groups, but there isn’t much depth behind Derrick Henry. Christian McCaffrey is amazing, but the Carolina Panthers have seven different unproven backs behind him on the roster. Lamar Jackson is a quarterback, thus not part of the backfield. With th ..read more

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers declined a two-year contract extension in the offseason that would have made him the NFL’s highest-paid player, ESPN reported Tuesday. Rodgers kept his distance from the Packers throughout the offseason, never touching down in Green Bay or entering the team facility since the season ended in a disappointing playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN reported the deal would have tied Rodgers to Green Bay for five more years and made him the “highest-paid player and quarterback” in the NFL. The nine-time Pro Bowl selection is not on good terms wit ..read more

The NFL is frequently characterized as some kind of mix between a soap opera and reality TV. Taken in that light, this morning’s entirely manufactured report from Adam Schefter makes a lot more sense. Without financial details, Schefter’s report is essentially worthless. What’s more, we’ve known about the broad strokes literally for months. It’s really just a matter of which NFL reporter you want to cite: Mike Silver reported the Packers and Rodgers were working on a deal in April, Ian Rapoport said the same in April, as did Bob McGinn. But, in need of some extra eyeballs around another premi ..read more
