I can't imagine why one and two on your list there are happening? It's truly a mystery . . . . . . . . [Reply]

Broncos are winners of the 5th annual Best Draft Award as voted on by NFL scouts and executives and presented by ITL Combine Seminar. Broncos win it on strength of Surtain, Javonte, The Belly, Baron Browning, Caden Sterns and Jonathon Cooper. George Paton's first draft. #9sports
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports contract talks between the Packers and Aaron Rodgers are "in a very good place."
Rapsheet also reports any new deal will almost certainly make Rodgers the highest-paid player in the league. It's expected to be on the shorter side, with some cap trickery/voidable years to spread out the money. Rodgers, of course, has yet to formally announce he is returning to Green Bay — or the NFL — but The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reported Wednesday that Rodgers' impending Packers return is the "worst-kept secret" of the Combine. At this point, it would take something truly dramatic to derail this partnership. [Reply]

This just in... Winning a Super Bowl, Winning 2 Conference Championships, 6 Division Titles in a row, hosting 4 AFC Title Games and averaging 12 wins per season is better than having back to back to back to back to back LOSING seasons, finishing in LAST place 3 times and averaging 6 wins per season during that span...:-) [Reply]

Lmao Orlando Brown Jr is not mediocre. He’s good. 31st pick for a 2nd and Orlando Brown was a huge steal.
Only 1 offensive tackle has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last 3 seasons.
You basically gave up the equivalent of the 40th overall pick for the privilege of overpaying Orlando Brown in 2022.
I would've rather stuck with Fisher and used that pick on that Jevon Holland fella you spoke so highly of. Or maybe drafted Oweh. Or a real RB like Javonte. [Reply]
