He is wrapping one of the greatest offensive seasons in history, and the greatest passing season ever for a big man. He has great hands; Jokic gobbles steals and rebounds — high-value plays that allow him to grab-and-go, and attack in semi-transition. There has been consternation, voiced most notably by Nick Wright of Fox Sports, […]
“I’ve got nothing new to update, and we still obviously feel the same way,” the Packers coach said Friday during the team’s rookie minicamp. They had two in for rookie camp on a tryout basis — journeymen Kurt Benkert and Chad Kelly — and signed veteran Blake Bortles earlier this week. LaFleur didn’t say whether […]
30, 2018 — one day after Aaron Rodgers signed a record contract extension worth $134 million with the Green Bay Packers that ran through the 2023 season. Rodgers has become so disgruntled with the team, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed by multiple media outlets, he’s told some in the organization he […]
The Packers were one of 10 teams to receive maximum prime-time exposure, a list that also included the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys, who will play in the NFL’s Sept. But the Packers’ inclusion was significant, considering the uncertain status of reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers. Speaking about the prime-time games, Packers coach Matt LaFleur […]
Not that he needed me to come along for it, because he was already in that spot, but we’ve established a lot together. Adams, who caught 115 passes for 1,374 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, is in the final year of a four-year, $58 million deal. “A lot is still being figured out on […]
— The Green Bay Packers still have only two quarterbacks on their roster — and only one who isn’t at odds with the team — but either way they need a couple of arms for this weekend’s rookie camp. Jordan Love, the Packers’ first-round pick in 2020, is not eligible to participate, a source said, […]
Culkin, who recently attracted attention for his plan to be the first NFL player to convert 100% of his paycheck to cryptocurrency, was released by the Chiefs on Monday. …Read the full story
He’d instantly make any NFL team a contender, but his price would be steep, and that’s assuming he doesn’t come to some kind of understanding with the Packers in the meantime — or decide to retire and perhaps pursue hosting “Jeopardy!” full time. …Read the full story
GREEN BAY, Wis. “I think I know Aaron fairly well, and honestly I just don’t see him coming back and just saying, ‘All right, let’s just bury the hatchet, whatever caused the rift, and I’m just going to come back and play because I love the guys, I love the Green Bay fans’ — I […]
There was quarterback James Morgan in the fourth round last year, guard Max Scharping in the second in 2019 and defensive tackle Kahlil McKenzie in the sixth in 2018. “I saw it was a Green Bay number and I answered it, and I wasn’t even expecting it to be Matt LaFleur,” Van Lanen said. “I […]
“You’re talking about the MVP of our league last year,” Lynch said. The Los Angeles Rams inquired about Rodgers in January before they traded for Matthew Stafford, but the Packers quickly dismissed the Rams’ overtures, the source said. Rodgers is unhappy for a variety of reasons, with some of it dating to last year’s draft […]
My take: Should it really be any surprise that the Packers went defense in the first round? This is the ninth time in their last 10 first-round picks they’ve addressed that side of the ball, with the lone offensive player being quarterback Jordan Love last year. With no scouting combine this year, they’re all technically […]
