It’s going to take days, weeks and maybe months to process what exactly happened with Davante Adams and the Green Bay Packers.

Now the problem is sitting in the lap of Rodgers the football player and Rodgers the talent evaluator. He wanted the respect of being granted that kind of influence and… Source link

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Aaron Donald is underpaid. He was underpaid coming into the season, underpaid coming into the Super Bowl, and now he’s underpaid heading into an offseason where a great many defenders are going to land a great many dollars. Before we get to the report from NBC’s Rodney Harrison that the Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle could retire following a Super Bowl win on Sunday, we first must consider the money. A financial conversation makes far more sense than a… Source link

Defending Aaron Rodgers is hard enough. Holding pass rushers to this kind of standard makes it even harder. Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Odafe Oweh saw an incomplete pass turn into Green Bay Packers first down on Sunday, all thanks to a shove of Rodgers the officials called roughing the passer.  Here is the “hit” that drew the flag: That flag turned what would have been second-and-10 on the Ravens’ 18-yard line into first-and-goal, which the Packers converted into a game-tying touchdown… Source link
