Around The NFL - 2021

[General_Failure]

But seriously, screw the NFL if anyone but an offensive lineman ever wears 69.

[ice grillin you]

single digit RB and WR numbers are fantastic

Crazy thing is I don't mind it in college.

now want to see the next zesty white lb the eagles have wear #4 just to destroy j

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sounds like Julio Jones is going to be traded.

If I'm the Jets I'd go after him.

[QB Eagles]

QB carousel options I see left out there for teams that want a QB:

Russell Wilson if you're willing to mortgage your whole franchise for a generation
Deshaun Watson if you're cool with serial sexual assault
Jimmy G
Teddy B ($17M price tag)

Teddy B to the Broncos for a 6th rounder.

...The player called the number on the pamphlet, and Barnes answered. Early into the call, Barnes could sense the player's excitement. But as the conversation continued, the player's enthusiasm dulled. The prospective client, who was White, said he was going in a different direction and ended the call.

"I believe this," said Barnes, who declined to share the name of the player. "When he found out we were Black, he canceled the meeting. We never met with him."

A quarter-century has passed since that phone call, but in Barnes's view, things haven't changed much for Black agents courting future NFL stars. Yes, history was made last year when 17 of the 32 first-round draft picks were represented by Black agents. But that progress comes with an asterisk, Black agents say: Most still don't have a single White client on their rosters.

Barnes, who played in the NFL, said he has represented just two White players over the course of his 35-year career. David Mulugheta — president of team sports at Athletes First and "the world's No. 1 NFL agent," according to Forbes — has said he represents only Black players because White players have not hired him. Peers have echoed a similar plight....

Really don't think Wilson is going anywhere but now Rodgers wants out of GB.

Other than his hometown Niners, I don't know what team he could possibly consider an upgrade over his current situation.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I heard the Niners offered Jimmy G and several high picks for him.

New Orleans?
Washington?
Pittsburgh?
Raiders?

[Diomedes]

I can't fault Rodgers for wanting to work elsewhere.  That call to end his season last year was atrocious.  Nevermind that it wasn't the best football call--dweebs with computers may argue otherwise, I suppose--but the human message was terrible leadership.  Give your star a chance to shine, or by definition he ain't your star.
