How about this for a shocker on the Aaron Rodgers front? According to a former NFL executive who spoke under anonymity with NFL Analysis Network, the Tennessee Titans have reached out to the Green Bay Packers about the possibility of a trade for the 39-year-old future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback. It’s been about a month since Rodgers stated in no uncertain terms that he was done with the Packers and would like to be playing for the New York Jets. Trade talk between the two teams, however, has been sluggish to the point of non-movement. The hangup centers around…

The 2023 NFL Draft is just around the corner and there’s a wide divergence of opinion when it comes to who the Green Bay Packers will pick with their 15th overall pick this year. Media experts and pundits have been offering up their opinions and mock drafts have been plentiful. Chief among the Packers needs this offseason is an elite-level pass catcher or two to help out new quarterback Jordan Love. As of right now, the team has a handful of decent second year players and, behind them, lots of question marks. The loss of free agents Allen Lazard and…

The only way for Jordan Love to succeed as the new starting quarterback in the post-Aaron Rodgers era is if he finds himself surrounded by a quality cast of offensive talent. Presumably, there should be a good number of veterans out there with him to help him make his way. At the moment, however, the Packers do not have that high-end supportive crew at wide receiver. Right now, the team has a handful of decent second year players and, behind them, lots of question marks. The loss of free agents Allen Lazard and Robert Tonyan (to the New York Jets…

Whether the Green Bay Packers are in full rebuild mode or in a post-Aaron Rodgers restructuring, the reality is that the team that takes the field this season will be very different from the one that played last season. A big part of the new-look Packers will have to come via trade as the team has chosen to be quiet in the free agent market this offseason. And there are plenty of holes that need to be filled for this team to be playoff-viable. The Packers, though, could be one phone call away from having a veteran impact player in…

The Green Bay Packers will be without future first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That much is certain for the upcoming season. The uncertainty is whether the team will be fully devoted to a rebuild or if it will restock with stop gap veterans hoping they can compete for a divisional title this season. Given that they’ve missed out on the free agent market this year, the only option for veteran players is via trade. The Packers could have their veteran impact player in the person of New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims. Structuring a deal between…

The impending loss of future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers will make an impact on the structure and fluidity of the Green Bay Packers, that much is certain. The open questions, however, circle around replacement Jordan Love and his ability to fill what could be a gaping hole in the offensive scheme of the team. That’s why the team’s NFL Draft picks this year will likely feature at least one well-regarded quarterback among the team’s first few picks. Rumors have been floating about that UCLA’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson could be the man the team is targeting as the insurance…

The Green Bay Packers are reportedly working on the soon-to-happen deal to trade Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. According to insiders with knowledge of the behind-the-scenes dealings, that deal could involve a trade package that would bring in multiple draft picks as well as a veteran wide receiver. Zach Rosenblatt of The Athletic, reporting from the NFL owner meetings in Phoenix, posted the latest on the potential Rodgers trade. Although some experts believe that negotiations could drag on through the offseason, Rosenblatt believes that the deal could happen sooner rather than later. “I’ve gotten a sense that the…

As things stand right now, the Green Bay Packers will have the 15th pick in this year’s NFL draft. They have plenty of holes to fill, with the need for depth most evident at wide receiver, safety, as well as tight end. There’s also significant pressure to add some depth at quarterback in case backup Jordan Love is not able to fill the spot soon to be left behind by veteran Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who should be traded over to the New York Jets any day now. It wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if the Packers…

The Milwaukee Bucks are still the betting favorites to bring home the NBA championship. Current betting odds place them at between +230 and +265 to capture the trophy. The team, which posted the best regular season record in all the NBA, ended the season atop the Eastern Conference (for the third time in five seasons) and will hold their No. 1 seed. This means that the 58-24 Bucks will retain home court advantage through their run in the playoffs. The Boston Celtics, who were the favorites to win it all at the start of the season, hit a rough patch…

For the first time in a very long time, Milwaukee Brewers fans are able to grab a beer through the end of the eighth inning. And they owe it all to the suits running the MLB show. Major League Baseball’s rules changes to shorten the length of the games and speed up the pace of the play have been a raging success. Chief among the reforms is the establishment of a pitch clock which gives pitcher 15 seconds to deliver the ball (and 20 seconds if there’s a runner on base). Already, less than two weeks into the season, game…
