When <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/tom-brady-t75921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a> shockingly announced that he was leaving the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-england-patriots-t92316" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New England Patriots </a>to sign with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/tampa-bay-buccaneers-t92317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers,</a> most people around the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> thought it was just a matter of time before theygot another reinforcement.
It didn’t take long before Rob Gronkowski announced that he was coming out of his early retirement to run it back with his friend and teammate, leaving behind his past in Foxborough, where he won 3 Super Bowl rings.
So, after leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Belichick </a>and having a year to heal and recover his body, Gronk started workinghis way back into game shape and ended up winning another Vince Lombardi trophy with Brady under center.

<h2>Rob Gronkowski Speaks Up On Facing The New England Patriots</h2>
Notably, it seems like Gronkowski is due for the biggest game of his career, which is a lot to say considering we’re talking about a 4-time NFL champion. Now, however, he’ll have to face the Patriots for the first time in his career when both teams clash in Week 4:
“That’s going to be pretty crazy,” Gronkowski told Buccaneers.com. “That’s going to be pretty epic. It’s definitely going to be emotional for sure I would say. You know I just had a great nine years. Probably the best nine years of my life. It was basically the beginning of my whole football career there. It’s definitely going to be heartfelt when I go back. I’ve just got to be prepared for that game for sure. I’ve got to be prepared for every game – but especially that one. It’s never going to be easy. It’s going to be tough. But it’s going to be a good one. It’s going to be different.”

Obviously, there will be a lot of feelings involved when Brady and Gronk set foot on Foxborough again. There will be a lot of pride in the game, as they’ll certainly want to beat Belichick but will also love to thank their fans for all the years they spent together.

The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-cowboys-t34860" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> were struggling to win games last season but <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dak-prescott-t142074" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dak Prescott</a> was playing at an MVP-level, torching his rivals and posting better numbers than most quarterbacks in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Football League.</a>
As you may know by now, Prescott’s breakout season came to a sudden end when he suffered a gruesome leg injury that made some question that he’ll ever go back to the field. Gladly, that wasn’t the case and he seems fully recovered now.
That’s why head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed what all Cowboys fans were waiting for: Barring a major disaster, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/the-highest-paid-athlete-in-2021-above-lionel-messi-lebron-james-and-tom-brady-complete-list-20210512-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highest-paid player in the NFL </a>is going to be fully cleared to take part in the training camp.
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Dallas Cowboys News: Mike McCarthy Says Dak Prescott Will Be A Full-Go For Training Camp</h2>
“Yeah, I don’t have any reason not to think that,” McCarthy told Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News. “I think this week in Phase Two will be a nice step in that direction.”
“I think he’ll do most things. There’s a plan in place that is coordinated with Britt [Brown] and Jim [Maurer] in the training room. But I know he feels really good. He’s had some excellent workouts here in the past couple of weeks. I see him doing most of the work,”McCarthy added.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-2"> </div>
</div>

Dak Prescott decided to bet on himself for two years instead of signing a contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys and it clearly paid off, as he recently signed a 4 year, $160 million contract with the team.
Now, he’ll have to pay Jerry Jones’ confidence back with picking up things where he left last season, as it’s been a while since the Cowboys last made the playoffs despite being the favorite out of the NFC East. This time, there will be no more room or time for excuses.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a> is one of the greatest quarterbacks in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> history and if someone tries to debate that, then he’s wrong. His résumé speaks for himself and so does his legacy with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-england-patriots-t92316" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New England Patriots.</a>
But, just to prove the doubters wrong and make a statement, Brady decided to write a new chapter in his career by leaving his lifelong organization to pursue a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/super-bowl-t64781" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Bowl </a>ring with a different team.
That’s when he shocked the world by announcing he was joining the often-struggling<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/tampa-bay-buccaneers-t92317" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>, cementing his legacy once again by winning the Vince Lombardi trophy on his very first season in the NFC.

<h2>Tom Brady Says He Had A Tough Time Learning The Bucs’ Playbook</h2>
But, crazy as it may seem, Brady wasn’t exactly at his best during his recent Super Bowl-winning campaign, as he recently toldHoodinkie Radio that he struggled to learn Bruce Arians’ playbook for most of the season.
“Midway through the year, I was still trying to figure out how to call the plays,” Brady started. “I just read [the plays] off my wristband and tried to visualize what was going to happen.”
“It’s like learning a completely new language. You’ve spoken English for 20 years and someone goes, ‘Hey man, let’s speak some Spanish.’ And you are like, ‘Huh? That makes no sense to my brain’,” Brady added.
That’s only normal after spending two decades within a system. Brady knew <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Belichick’s</a> playbook inside out and it all came pretty much automatic to him. Eventually, Arians also let him call his own plays and his performances were significantly better.

<h2>Brady Explains How Social Distancing Affected The Buccaneers Early In The Season</h2>
More than that, Brady credits the chemistry they gained throughout the year for the team’s improved performance, claiming that the first six weeks or so were tough due to the social distancing policies:
“The end of the season was what was the most fun,” Brady said. “We kind of came together. Naturally, we couldn’t come together in the same way. You couldn’t start that way in training camp because we were all social distanced. We couldn’t meet together. We had to all sit outside. You couldn’t have friends over. You couldn’t do anything after the game.
“So it took a long time for people to get to know one another. Much longer than normal. The last six weeks of the year, wow, we really started hitting our stride. We gained a lot of confidence in one another. It was a really unique experience, one that I hope I never, ever have to go through again, but I think we made the best of it,” the quarterback concluded.
Perhaps the scariest part about this is the fact that Brady will come back next season with a healthy knee, a learned playbook, and better chemistry with his teammates. Somehow, he could be even better.

NFL 2021: When does the season start?

NFL 2021: When does the season start? - Bolavip US

It seems like a day doesn’t go by without a lot of drama around the National Football League. First, it was <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/deshaun-watson-t154040" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deshaun Watson </a>and his trade demands and civil lawsuits. Now, it’s <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> and his desire to play somewhere else.
A couple of weeks ago, the news broke that the legendary quarterback was livid at the organization and wanted to be traded immediately, threatening to sit out or retire if he wasn’t granted his wish.
Then again, former <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> player John Kuhn believes that it’s still too early to sound off the alarms and that, whatever the problem is, Rodgers and the team can still find some common ground.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-89"> </div>
</div>
<h2>Former Packer John Kuhn Says Aaron Rodgers’ Situation Is Still Fixable</h2>
“I’m sure contract is part of that,” Kuhn said. “I’m sure that years guaranteed is a part of that. Not just being a highest-paid quarterback or the highest paid at your position. But I believe the security going forward is a part of that, and I also believe being on the same page as having open communication where all sides feel like they are being heard. Aaron and I are friends. We spent a decade of our lives together in the same meeting rooms, on the same practice field. So we do talk. And quite frankly this is something that I believe is fixable.”
That’s surely more encouraging than what another former Packers player said. Several days ago, Brett Favre predicted that Rodgers wasn’t going to let this go away any time soon and that he was going to leave the team:

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-16"> </div>
</div>

“I think I know Aaron fairly well. And honestly, I just don’t see him coming back and just saying, ‘All right, let’s just bury the hatchet, whatever caused the rift, and I’m just going to come back and play because I love the guys, I love the Green Bay fans’ — I assume he does — but his rift isn’t with the fans or the players. It’s with the front office. Will he just swallow his pride and come in? Maybe. But I don’t see that happening,” Favre said.
Whatever the case is, it seems like the Packers will wait until June 1 before making any decision on the MVP’s future, with the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders as the two most likely destinations for him.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> could be facing one of their most challenging <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> seasons in years. Starting quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>is reportedly on the verge of an exit amid conflict with the front office, possibly leaving the team without a key weapon. Meanwhile, former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-rams-t89738" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LA Rams</a> quarterback, Blake Bortles, is set to join the franchise, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
His addition comes at a time when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/packers-shouldnt-trade-aaron-rodgers-vs-june-20210430-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the organization seems to be confronted with their main figure</a> and facing the risk of running short of quarterbacks if Rodgers decides to leave. The No. 12 has been crucial for the Packers’ success in all these years, in which he sort ofcarried the teamall by himself.
While there’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/matt-lafleur-speaks-on-aaron-rodgers-situation-green-bay-packers-20210503-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speculation regarding the quarterback situation at Green Bay</a>, Bortles’ signing provides the team some necessary depth before the organized team activities begin in the next weeks. With him and Jordan Love, are the Packers getting ready for a potentialRodgers departure?
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-59"> </div>
</div>
<h2>Bortles agrees to a one-year deal while Rodgers’ future remains uncertain</h2>
With only two quarterbacks in their roster, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/brett-favre-says-aaron-rodgers-will-leave-the-packers-20210506-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of them rumored to be leaving sooner rather than later</a>, Green Bay were facinga tricky scenario with the possibility ofbeing left with only onequarterback if Rodgers finally decidesto leave.
However, Bortles’ arrival wouldn’t be necessarily relatedto the three-time NFL MVP’s probable exit, but with giving further back-up to the signal-caller role instead. The other QB in the offseason roster, Jordan Love, has no experience in the league so far, as he was inactive through the 2020 season, but the29-year-oldhas seven seasons under his belt.

</div>
Still, the last time Bortles took part in an NFL game was in 2019 with the Los Angeles Rams, and he hasn’t played as a starter in his last campaign with the Jaguars in 2018. The veteran quarterback’s signing is understood to be related to his good relationship with Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who worked with Bortles for four years in Jacksonville.
It’s unlikely that the Packers’ new signing is seen as a potential replacementfor Rodgers, but it does respond to their need of having more depth at the quarterback position, as the 37-year-old might not be evenshowing up atthe upcoming voluntary works until his situation is resolved.

Nearly a decade after playing his last snap in the league, the Florida standout has decided to make a comeback. More impressively, he’s finally accepted and embraced the fact that he won’t be playing quarterback and would need to move to the tight end spot.
However, what could’ve been a feel-good story about the former <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/denver-broncos-t99051" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver Broncos</a>‘ draft pick is now a huge controversy, as some NFL players believe that him getting another shot in the league is yet another example of white privilege.

<h2>Urban Meyer Says The Jaguars Haven’t Signed Tebow (Yet)</h2>
That’s why Jaguars new coach Urban Meyer – who happened to coach Tebow during his time with the Gators – had to clear the air in an interview with Cris Collinsworth, saying that the team hasn’t made a decision on signing him… yet:
“We have not signed Tim.There’s a thought going around. He was in the best shape of his life, asked to see if he could work out with a couple of our coaches. I wasn’t even there,” Meyer told Collinsworth.
“And they came back to me and said, ‘Wow, this guy’s in incredible shape.’ Then I went another time and watched them try him out. And they said, ‘Go work on these things.’ He comes back later. They try him out again, I’m not there. They came in and they said, ‘Wow. This guy’s ball skills. He’s a great athlete. He looks like he’s 18 years old not whatever he is, 33. And I said, ‘Guys, you don’t understand, now. This guy is, he’s the most competitive maniac you’re ever gonna talk to. And let’s give it a shot. And I have not decided if we’re gonna do that or not yet. Getting close. I gotta make a decision here pretty soon,“ he added.
To be fair, some players seem to have a valid point. Aldon Smith couldn’t make a comeback, neither could Collin Kaepernick, and Dez Bryant had a tough time getting teams to even work him out.

This is not a shot at Tim Tebow, who I believe is a good guy and has every right in the world to try and make a comeback and fulfill his dream but I get where the complaints are coming from, given how the league has dealt withblack athletes in the past.

Even though most people have moved on from this saga to<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Aaron Rodgers’ </a>drama with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a>, there are still plenty of teams around the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> trying to inquire about a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/deshaun-watson-t154040" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deshaun Watson </a>trade.
Watson has been on the eye of the hurricane over the past couple of months, facing over 20 civil lawsuits for sexual assault, and that’s likely the only reason why his team hasn’t agreed to trade him away just yet.
So, even though there are still serious doubts about whether he’ll be able to suit up next season while the investigations are ongoing, it seems like the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-texans-t91292" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Texas </a>star could still be on the move pretty soon.

<h2>Peter King Says The Eagles Are Favorite To Land Deshaun Watson</h2>
According to NFL insider Peter King, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to be heavily interested in Watson’s services, confirming a previous report from CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, who called them ‘strong suitors’.
“Philadelphia. A likely need, plus Eagles are in perfect position to deal with three first-round picks (if Carson Wentz plays three-quarters of the Indy season),” King said on Football Morning in America.
King gave the Eagles 3-to-1 odds to land the Clemson product, which is somewhat surprising considering they have a young potential star in Jalen Hurts after trading Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts.

<div class="ck-related-news">

Still, there are some obstacles Watson and his team have to get through before thinking about his next team, as it doesn’t seem like the nearly two dozens of cases against him are going to go away any time soon.
But, should he be cleared to play and if he continues his standoff against the Houston Texans organization, look out for the Eagles, who could become instant contenders out of the NFC East if they manage to land him.

A couple of years ago, it seemed like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/juju-smith-schuster-s-declined-offers-to-stay-with-pittsburgh-steelers-20210319-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JuJu Smith-Schuster</a> was ready to take Antonio Brown’s torch and become one of the best wide receivers in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a>, leading the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/pittsburgh-steelers-t93952" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers’</a> offense as their primary weapon.
Needless to say, that hasn’t been the case thus far. Smith-Schuster has been pedestrian at best as their first option, and he’s made more noise outside of the gridiron for his comments and social media activity than for his actual play.
Last season was tough for him. From the ‘Corvette Corvette’ fiasco and dancing on top of his rivals’ logo to his controversial ‘The Browns is the Browns’ comments on the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cleveland-browns-t98379" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Cleveland Browns </a>before losing to them in the playoffs.
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>JuJu Smith-Schuster Acknowledges His Comments On The Browns Motivated Them</h2>
Smith-Schuster said that even though Cleveland had a much-improved team last year, they’d still were going to be ‘just the Browns’. Now, months after their tough loss to them, he finally admitted that those comments didn’t age well:
“I’m not going to lie to you. It got to a point where the Cleveland Browns had a billboard up in Cleveland that said, ‘The Browns is the Browns.’ I think by me saying that, it says that a lot of people care about what I say. (…) At the end of the day, I said what I said. I don’t take anything back. They did come out there, they did whoop our ass. It is what it is. We lost that game. We lost early in that game in the first five, 10 minutes. We still fought. I’ll tell you one thing about our team, we still fought to the end. It wasn’t good enough. I just know the AFC North [is] just probably the hardest (…) division right now to win in. Guys like Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Ben. I think every team is getting to the point where it’s like, ‘Man, they’re really good.’ It is what it is,”Smith-Schuster said.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-40"> </div>
</div>

Against all odds, Smith-Schuster actually turned downs bigger offers from other teams to come back to the Steelers. Now, he’ll have to silence his critics and those who question his commitment and toughness.

Even though it seems like no one’s talking about <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/deshaun-watson-t154040" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deshaun Watson</a> anymore in the wake of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers’ </a>desire to leave the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a>, that doesn’t mean that his legal turmoil has changed a bit.
Watson is still in the eye of the hurricane, as there are still multiple ongoing investigations against him for allegedly sexually assaulting multiple therapists since he made it to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Football League.</a>
The Clemson product had expressed his desire to be traded away from the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-texans-t91292" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Texans</a> and some thought he’d never play another snap for them. Now, it seems like he may not even play another snap in the league.

<h2>Jason La Canfora Says Deshaun Watson Is Unlikely To Play In 2021</h2>
According to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, Deshaun Watson could be forced to miss the 2021 campaign while the Houston Police Department and the NFL conclude their investigations and the cases settle:
“I don’t think you’re going to see Deshaun Watson in an NFL building for a long time, certainly not until there’s more clarity about (it). This is a legal situation,” La Canfora said. “This is a league situation. This is a civil situation. I don’t think Deshaun Watson has any short-term future playing football. Long term, I think, will depend on these various findings and how some of the cases are adjudicated.”
 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-34"> </div>
</div>

Watson was coming off an MVP-caliber season, at least in terms of individual production, so multiple teams expressed their interest in trading for him. Now, his future is up in the air and could be put into pay leave.
The dual-threat gunslinger is currently facing up to 22 different lawsuits, and the fact that the franchise drafted Stanford’s David Mills could mean that they’re thinking of an insurance policy in the event he’s not able – or willing – to play.

Using a first-round pick on a running back is always a huge risk when it comes to the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> Draft. Running backs aren’t as durable as they were and they’re pretty much expendable for most teams. That’s why multiple people thought the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/pittsburgh-steelers-t93952" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> were making a mistake by using the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-draft-2021-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210430-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 24th overall pick</a> in Najee Harris.
Harris was a huge difference-maker during his stint with the Alabama Crimson Tide, improving on a yearly basis and helping them win a national championship. He’s 6’2, strong, and has a solid ability to change directions and break tackles.
That prompted the Steelers to use their first-round pick on him, as they believe that he’s just the perfect player to take their offense to the next level and take the division away from the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/baltimore-ravens-t99154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cleveland-browns-t98379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> again.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-96"> </div>
</div>
<h2>Steelers’ GM Says Najee Harris Is An NFL-Ready, Three-Down Back</h2>
When asked about their pick, Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert said that Harris was making NFL runs in college already and that Urban Meyer’s system in Alabama would help him have a smooth transition to the pros:
“Najee is a well-rounded running back that played in a pro system. He made NFL runs routinely, and he could also play in the passing game, both as a receiver and as a blocker. He’s basically a three-down back coming from an NFL-like system, plugging into a similar type system. He made NFL runs at the collegiate level. He did it at a high level. He helped them win a national championship, so hopefully he can help us win some games,” Colbert told ProFootballTalk Radio.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-95"> </div>
</div>

<h2>Colbert Says Harris Will Make The Steelers’ Offense Better</h2>
Colbert added that he believes that Harris will make an immediate impact as their bell-cow running back. He thinks that the Steelers’ revamped offensive line plus the addition of Harris will help them take their offense to a whole new level:
“Well, we think anytime you talk about the running game, you talk about what starts up front,” Colbert added. “You talk about your receivers being able to get open, your quarterback being able to complete passes. Having a well-rounded passing game that opens up for the running back in addition with having a capable runner. We had capable runners last year. Our offensive line went through a transition. Hopefully, we’re going to come out the other side of it. It’s comprehensive. When we had the opportunity to take a guy like Najee, we think that’ll help significantly with our run game.”
Pittsburgh’s running game last season was pedestrian at best. James Conner was inefficient and often hurt, and Ben Roethlisberger’s game didn’t do much to open up lanes on the ground either. Hopefully, Harris will be that running back they’ve been craving since Le’Veon Bell’s departure.

There’s no denying that <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> is one of the most talented and impactful quarterbacks in the history of the game. That’s why the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> was completely shaken when the news broke of his desire to leave the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers.</a>
Rodgers is reportedly livid at the franchise and its General Manager for their unwillingness to spend big or use top draft picks on skill players and trading up to get Jordan Love in last year’s Draft clearly exasperated him.
Now, the former California Bear is reportedly looking forward to being traded, with some even claiming that<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/brett-favre-says-aaron-rodgers-will-leave-the-packers-20210506-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> he’d much rather sit out </a>next season or retiring if the Packers don’t grant him his wish.

<h2>Mike McCarthy Doesn’t Want To Read Too Much Into Aaron Rodger’s Saga</h2>
Needless to say, every single person that has had anything to do with Rodgers has opened up about the subject, so it wasn’t a surprise to see his former head coach Mike McCarthy receiving questions about it. Nonetheless, he didn’t want to read too much into it:
“I think it’s like everything in this business. I don’t think anything ever surprises you, and I think things like that go on. Conversations are always going on when it comes to player acquisition. Obviously, everyone knows the impact that Aaron Rodgers has made on the Green Bay Packers, but I didn’t really give it much thought. I haven’t seen anything happen, so it’s a good news story. . . . Jerry [Jones] told me when I got here, all news is good news,” McCarthy told Jon Machota of The Athletic.

McCarthy and Rodgers spent 13 years together at Lambeau Field, winning one Super Bowl. Eventually, it was clear that the team needed some fresh air and he was let go, leaving the door open for him to join the Dallas Cowboys last season.
There’s no doubt that adding Rodgers would be a massive improvement for 90% of the teams around the NFL, so there will be plenty of offers. Now, whether the Packers will cave to his demands is yet to be seen.

The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers </a>are facing one of the most critical moments in their history. According to multiple reports, reigning <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL </a>MVP <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> is livid at the team and doesn’t want to come back next season.
Rodgers had had enough of the front office and their unwillingness to give him more weapons, and using a first-round pick on a quarterback last year may have pushed him over the edge. That, plus the decision tokick a field goal with the NFC Championship Game on the line prompted Rodgers’ decision.
Multiple teams like the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/denver-broncos-t99051" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver Broncos</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/las-vegas-raiders-t102109" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> were tied to Rodgers over the past couple of weeks but there’s no traction just yet. Other sources claim that Aaron wants the team to fire their GM or else he’s walking away.

<h2>Brett Favre Says Aaron Rodgers Isn’t Coming Back</h2>
To make things even worst for Packers fans, former team legend Brett Favre recently addressed Rodgers’ situation in an interview with ESPN Wisconsin, stating that he’s just not going to let this thing go:
“I think I know Aaron fairly well,” Favre started. “and honestly I just don’t see him coming back and just saying, ‘All right, let’s just bury the hatchet, whatever caused the rift, and I’m just going to come back and play because I love the guys, I love the Green Bay fans’ — I assume he does — but his rift isn’t with the fans or the players. It’s with the front office. Will he just swallow his pride and come in? Maybe. But I don’t see that happening.”

<div class="ck-related-news">

<h2>Favre Says Rodgers Would Rather Sit Out If He’s Not Traded</h2>
Favre added thatknowing Rodgers and his character, he would much rather sit out next year if he’s not traded. In fact, some people even claimed that he could contemplate retirement if he’s not moved:
“If there’s not a trade, my gut tells me that he’d rather sit out than play. That’s just my gut. There’s no reason for me to say that other than that’s what my gut’s telling me, and I think you guys know Aaron fairly well enough to sort of feel the same way,” Favre concluded.

<div class="ck-related-news">

It doesn’t seem like this drama is going to go away any time soon. What’s clear is that the Packers have failed him and now risk losing one of the greatest gunslingers to ever set foot on a gridiron.

When we talk about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Top-50-greatest-quarterbacks-in-NFL-history-20200522-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greatest quarterbacks in NFL history</a>, Tim Tebow’s name doesn’t come to mind at first. As a matter of fact, his stints with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/denver-broncos-t99051" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver Broncos</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-jets-t102085" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Jets</a> were more memorable because of the memes than his actual play.
For years, people around the league tried to convince Tebow to shift positions from quarterback to tight end. That, according to most experts, would’ve helped prolong his career in the league but he never wanted to give up on his dream.
That’s why it was so surprising to see that, 9 years after his last snap in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> and after a failed stint with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-mets-t110386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a> farm system, the former Heisman winner has finally come to his senses and worked out as a tight end for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/jacksonville-jaguars-t95239" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars.</a>

<h2>Tony Khan Says Urban Meyer Is Optimistic About Tim Tebow</h2>
The fact that he chose the Jaguars among all teams isn’t a coincidence, though, as he’s still a pretty popular figure there for his glorious days at the University of Florida where he was also coached by Meyer.
And, according to team owner’s son Tony Khan, the team has been quite impressed with Tebow’s workouts thus far, as he told Bleacher Report that they’re very likely to sign him as their new tight end:
“Tim has definitely come in and worked out,” Khan said. “So beyond that, I can’t say too much, but Tim has come in and worked out as a tight end. That’s not a position that we’ve seen him play, but it’s a position that he’s been practicing at with us. So that will be interesting to see how that contributes to us on offense, too. Obviously Urban knows Tim really well and Tim has got a great history of winning. Urban really believes he can help us, and I think it makes a lot of sense. And it’s a position where we need to get better.”

<div class="ck-related-news">

There’s no doubt that Tebow was one of the most disappointing players in NFL history. He dominated college football like no many other quarterbacks ever did. But he’s always been a nice guy, so all jokes aside, we’re actually rooting for him.
