I think it would be kind of fun if the Packers struggle early, Rodgers throws a fit and a bucket of picks come our way as he finishes the year in a ______ jersey.

The offensive line for one will possibly struggle early as our LT is expected to be recovering from last year's injury possibly into the early weeks of the season and the starting center may very likely be a rookie. Lane Taylor is also coming off a season long injury IIRC.

Wentz already dead. Sounds like major foot damage.
Reportedly getting surgery on it too. Dude just can't say healthy, unfortunately.

Also, RB Theo Riddick has announced his retirement. Dependable 3rd Down receiving back for 5 years, solid considering he was a 6th Round pick.

I am pretty sure Riddick was going to be cut after not getting vaccinated and going on the COVID list. The Raiders now only have three guys in camp who have not gotten the shot.

QB Jarrett Stidham is having back surgery and is out for 3 months, likely meaning Brian Hoyer will get a 53 Man roster spot. Jake Dolegala could get stashed on the PS too.

Giants signed C/G Joe Looney after Shane Lemieux was carted off the field. Looney started 16 games in 2018 & 12 in 2020 for Dallas. Giants also are bringing back RB Alfred Morris on a 1 year deal after he showed well last year.

Saints signed RB Devonta Freeman to a 1 year deal.

Another Raiders player has retired in OL Sam Young while the Vikings waived CB Jeff Gladney (last year's 31st Pick) following a domestic violence incident from April 2nd.

Finally, 2020 4th Round pick OL Cameron Clark of the Jets has movement in his extremities after suffering a serious neck injury at practice. Panthers WR Keith Kirkwood is in good condition after being stretchered out following a hit by teammate S TJ Ibe (who was cut immediately after).

P Pressley Harvin III (whattaname) really showcased himself in the HOF game for Pittsburgh. LB Alex Highsmith was all over the field for them too, making plays. WR Mathew Sexton had that big punt return and actually went undrafted in 2020 but was signed after running at Michigan State's 2021 Pro Day. Good story if he can make the 53 man roster as a return man.

The Steelers special teams in general were the highlight of the night, might bail 'em out a few times this year because their first team offense wasn't getting too much done outside of that great Claypool catch that ended his night.

Now we have to wait another week for anything else. Dang.

(as he types, some big star's knee explodes at their training camp)

Colts signed Darius Leonard to a 5 Year, $99.25 Million deal with $52.5 Million guaranteed. An Interesting deal to highlight with T.J. Watt holding out of training camp looking for his own long term deal with Pittsburgh as he's playing under the team's 5th year option.
