DAVANTE ADAMS

It took 42 selections Friday before a second quarterback was taken in the NFL draft.

Two more prominent wide receivers switched teams with Tennessee’s A.

The Green Bay Packers keep tricking draft analysts and the football world into thinking they’ll draft a first-round wide receiver. Green Bay had two first-round picks on Day 1 of the 2022 NFL draft, and they came away with two Georgia defenders, which is hard to argue. They landed Georgia linebacker Quay Walker at Pick 22, then took defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt at Pick 28. That means the streak dating back to 2002 of not drafting a first-round receiver (Javon Walker) continues. The Packers shipped star receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for Picks 22 and 53 earlier this offseason.

The second day of the NFL draft ended appropriately with another wide receiver being selected.

The emergence of former LSU teammates Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase casts doubt on the conventional wisdom that NFL teams can’t count on rookie wide receivers.

Heck, even Christian Kirk got $72 million over four years from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yes, Christian Kirk. For Christian Kirk. Lord knows what Deebo Samuel, who is not Christian Kirk, will get in the extension he is now seeking with a new team. “It’s a great wide receiver draft,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said.

The Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams should have plenty of company sitting out the first round of the NFL draft next week.

The 32 NFL team owners will deal with some significant issues at their meetings this week in Florida.

Blockbuster trades have dominated the first week of NFL free agency, paired with the quarterback carousel and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Aaron Rodgers opened the week by announcing his intentions to return for the Green Bay Packers in 2022. The reigning back-to-back MVP will make $150 million over three years. The Packers then traded star receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for Picks 22 and 53 in this year’s draft. Adams then inked a five-year, $141.25 million with his new team.

Aaron Rodgers started the action by re-upping with the Green Bay Packers in arguably the most anticipated news of the offseason. Green Bay traded star receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for a collection of draft picks late Thursday. Adams then signed a massive five-year extension with his new team, with the sports world awaiting Rodgers’ reaction. The star receiver reportedly signed a five-year, $141.25 million extension with his new team. There were reports from the Star Tribune that Minnesota is shopping star pass rusher Danielle Hunter.

The Las Vegas Raiders are making a blockbuster move to keep up in the AFC West, acquiring All-Pro receiver Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers.

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a blockbuster move to keep up in the AFC West, acquiring All-Pro receiver Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers. A person familiar with the move said Thursday the Raiders are sending the No. 22 overall pick in the April draft and additional compensation to the Packers to reunite Adams with his college quarterback, Derek Carr. NFL Network reported that Adams has agreed to a new five-year deal with the Raiders that will pay him $141.25 million in the richest deal ever for a wide receiver.

Aaron Rodgers has officially signed a contract extension assuring the two-time reigning MVP will remain with the Green Bay Packers.

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said early in the offseason that salary cap concerns shouldn’t prevent the team from building a quality roster around Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams if both players stayed.

Tuesday was a wild day in the NFL, and not just because of the 4 p.m. ET deadline for teams to use the franchise tag. 9:08 a.m: Dolphins tag Mike GesickiESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the “Dolphins have placed the franchise tag on TE Mike Gesicki, per league source.”10:01 a.m: Cowboys tag Dalton SchultzNFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports “The #Cowboys are franchise tagging TE Dalton Schultz, source said, keeping another playmaker in the fold. The signing period for franchise players begins at 4 p.m. ET on March 16 and ends on the Tuesday following the 10th week of the season.”

Aaron Rodgers is planning to come back to the Green Bay Packers for an 18th season, a move that keeps the reigning MVP quarterback off the trade market and answers the question that had dominated NFL offseason discussions.

An underwhelming free agent class for quarterbacks is overshadowed by the possibility of multiple big names changing teams.

The NFL salary cap is going back up this year with a projection of $208.2 million per team.

On Tuesday afternoon, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst addressed reporters at Day 1 of the NFL combine. It’s also worth noting that star receiver Davante Adams needs a new contract, with the Packers general manager saying he believes those are two different situations and not connected. “I think he’s got a very tough process that he goes through to get himself ready to play every season,” Gutekunst said. Cousins has one year left on his massive contract, with the Vikings hiring a new head coach and general manager. Chicago BearsThe Bears are welcoming a new regime too, with general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus speaking to reporters on Tuesday.

But Rodgers’ interception was, in part, because of something that came in a different zone. Rodgers said he took two shots to the groin right before he was about to throw to wide receiver Davante Adams. ... That was entirely due to the double nut shot I took.”(Warning: the video below contains explicit language.) “I guess I gotta overcome that and throw a better ball,” Rodgers joked after giving the explanation for the play.

But Gronk in particular has always been a big-play guy in big games for Brady, and Green Bay doesn't have linebackers who excel in coverage. Green Bay will do some blitzing, though not as much as Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles figures to do. Unlike Brady, Rodgers can create outside the pocket, and he's especially dangerous when doing so. Veteran placekicker Mason Crosby is solid, making all 16 field goal attempts, but missed four PATs for Green Bay. Tampa Bay's Ryan Succop, now in his 12th pro season, made 28 of 31 field goal tries but missed five extra points.

Mike Sherman had been working as Packers coach and general manager up to that point. “Certainly he’s a guy who’s held in the highest regard in this building and, I think, just around the league,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.
