Maybe the 9ers can sign Brady and bring in Rodgers as his backup. Let him sit for a year and learn how to win in the playoffs

No mention of the halftime show. Eminem was awesome. Kendrick Lamar pretty cool too.

Super bowl halftime shows have been pretty much crap over the years and this one was one of the worst, if not the worst. Prince was about the only one that was memorable and worth watching again.

NFL combine is at some risk, as over 135 players have said they won't attend due to the Bubble handling of Covid at the Combine. NFL is blaming Combine and Combine is blaming NFL. Lets see if this shifts...
NFL/ABC - looking to pick ONE monday night, and have a game on ESPN about the same time as one on ABC - about one hour apart
DAL/NFL - okay a story was leaked, saw the story on PFT, but evidently the Cowboys settled a $2 million dollar case of sexual voyeurism vs. one of its upper office folks and no one new about the civil case. However, the league has said it won't investigate...you would think they would have learned from Washington but evidently not.
CIN - S Ricardo Allen is retiring
NFL - Pepsi will no longer sponsor the half time show
NFL - Sunday ticket may be on the move as the deal with Direct TV ends in 2022 - no idea where this may go
TAM- PFT is running a story where a former NFL player is saying there were alot of bad feelings between Brady and Arians, and that soured relationship was one reason Brady decided to retire. It also states that the game plan each game was made up with Leftwich AND Brady, and at one point in 2021 Brady took over game planning. Which explains why Leftwich may not be as popular a hire as some think. Stories linking Brady to San Fran also popping up.

That didnt take long.

Combine bubble already burst. Stupid idea to begin with

NFL - window to start applying FT in NFL starts today
GB - People are freaking out about some posts that Aaron Rodgers made - one picture of a space between Adams and Cobb - that would have been him, so now folks are convinced he is leaving. I would LOVE for a few teams to just step up and say they wouldn't pay for this drama Queen.
PIT - Per a response from GM - Mason Rudolph is the starter is season were to begin today, and they plan to tender RFA Qb Dwayne Haskins as well. - also a report stating the team sees really good value in this years draft.
CAR - reports out that Panthers have called the Vikings about a trade for Kirk Cousins
NFL - as Mongerkhan stated - NFL has killed the Covid Bubble for the combine - look for more players to show up now
DAL - Micah Parsons got rookie defensive player of the year and was playing all year on a damaged knee. Hyperextended it early in season
HOU - Deshaun Watson is still in limbo. Per reports his legal team wanted to delay his deposition for the civil cases until the criminal cases have been completed(grand Jury expected to decide if charges will be filed by April 1st), the Lawyer for the plaintiffs wants it now, the Judge has ruled that those ladies who have both(civil case and filed criminal charges) cannot have Watson deposed until after Grand Jury decision, the rest can depose Watson once his lawyer is available(Hardin is in another case right now).
NFL/Amazon - Amazon got Thursday night packages(except Thanksgiving which still stays on NBC), so both are now looking at moving one game that weekend to Black Friday...

NYG - sign TE Chris Myarick, may not be tagging Engram, and all that leaves is Rudolph
KC - Chiefs release Lb Anthony Hitchens - saves $8.4 million from cap
CIN - re-sign Wr Trent Taylor
GB - per reports Packers and Adams or his agent have not talked contract at all since end of season

 

[Phicinfan]

NFL - more fall out due to the bungled investigation of the Washington ownership - Congressmen have created a new bill that would discontinue tax subsidies to pay for new stadiums for sports teams.
HOU - HC Lovie Smith stated the situation for Watson will be fixed in time, and that Davis Mills is their Qb moving forward
MIA - the Flores situation getting worse as well - Per reports Flores stated he walked away from alot of money by not signing a NDA when being fired, the Owner denied it, and Flores legal team then posted the documents - that showed by not signing the NDA - Flores voided his buyout clause.
N.O. - Saints cut K Brett Maher
GB - signs K Dominik Eberle - may have to make a cut of current K Crosby due to cap limit restrictions
SEA - has opened talks with Quandre Diggs
DEN - New OC Outten is in wait and see with Qb Lock - to see how he fits in the new system
TEN- signs Wr Josh Malone
MIA - signs Qb Chris Streveler

 

[Phicinfan]

GB - starting work to get out of cap hell - have restructured contract of Kenny Clark freeing up $10.892 million
OBJ - had successful surgery to fix his torn ACL

Green Bay - someone help me here please.
- Aaron Rodgers says he will decide prior to FA starting, and has said he had solid improved talks with the team
- GM says they want to keep Adams, but don't want to tag him, want long term deal(makes sense cap wise)
- Adams has said his decisions in FA will be partially effected by Rodger's decisions
- GM now says there is not a lock team will keep Adams, as stated they don't want to FT him, and if they don't get long term deal he may walk
- GM also has now stated no decisions on any other player will happen until decision by Rodgers.
- NOW GM is saying he did not promise to trade Rodgers if he requests it. Who is this idiot? Team sources have stated GM is lying on that.

This is like a bad sitcom. One minute they are kissing Rodgers @$$ and the next they are basically telling Adams get your boy to decide and telling Rodgers he is to blame for any other contract delay. How is this helping anything?

Watson, per PFT reports there are multiple teams willing to trade for Watson even if his legal issues aren't solved. But of course that will drive the price down for Houston. Some teams will insist the criminal charges be decided but most will be okay if civil cases are still pending.

Last year Miami was close to a deal, but insisted all cases be closed, that didn't happen. Per some reports Carolina was fine to let cases keep going, but Watson refused to release his non-trade clause and go to Carolina.

 

[Phicinfan]

ESPN - per reports Troy Aikman is getting set to leave CBS to go to ESPN for Monday night games
TEN - signed Lb Justin Lawler
LAR - OT Whitworth is again thinking of retiring, told team he will take a few weeks to decide

 

[Phicinfan]

GB - restructured Aaron Jones' contract - saving $3.85 million in cap space

 

[Phicinfan]

Rumors flying Washington is on the move to get a top flight Qb :
- One report stated Washington offered multiple picks and Chase Young to get Watson from Houston
- One report had Washington, Seattle and Houston in a three team trade - Watson to Seattle, Wilson to Washington and picks and players to Houston

Other rumors have Washington talking to Vikings and Colts about Cousins and Wentz

 

[Phicinfan]

Another report out that Washington has a deal on the table with Green Bay for 3 picks and a player for Aaron Rodgers
