So it looks like we read the signs correctly from Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams’ matching Instagram stories: they’re going to be back with the Packers for the 2021 season, but then probably gone after that. Adam Schefter reports Rodgers and Green Bay are close to a deal that would void the 2023 year in… Read More “Last Dance” in Green Bay Confirmed: Rodgers Near Deal to Return to Packers, But Only for This Season

He also said he doesn't want to… Read More đ¨ Julio Jones on His Future With the Atlanta Falcons: “I’m Outta There”

I donât do mock drafts, because after the top 6-7 picks itâs basically a crapshoot. Nor do I do âdraft gradesâ, and this is because I think the idea is fundamentally stupid.
