Fantasy Football News and Rumors

From the transcript of his presser-

Do you get to decide where you’re going to play next year?

Rodgers: No. That’s not what I’ve been told or understand.


Unless it's a flat out lie...which, it certainly could be...that's pretty black and white.

well he hasnt signed a new contract yet so he is still under the old one

Well they had some sort of "concession agreement" that they apparently agreed to in order to get him back..none of which has been verifiable released to the public, so who knows what they agreed to do after this season. But yes, that's my point, the legally binding contract says he'll be in GB next season, and beyond, unless they A) trade him, or B) release him, or C) he retires. Therein lie the rumors and assumptions about what was agreed to given those 3 options.
And IMHO, GB would be supremely ignorant to go with option B...regardless of what Rodgers wants

Teddy is what he is - a decent system QB who's good in short/intermediate accuracy. But with Sutton and Jeudy being their top wideouts, you're going to want a guy who can push it downfield, and Lock is probably better there.

But with the defense looking top 5ish or so in the league, you may just want a safe game managing type QB, instead of a gunslinger who is prone to turnovers. That's been my debate all summer.

Yep..on both.

Sounds like Drew had a pretty rough day today and Teddy was, well..Teddy..so Teddy got day 2

I have a feeling they will be back and forth the whole time until the opener. Probably even longer.

Definitely.

I would say it's a safe bet to bank on both starting games this season.

There's even the beginnings of Brett Rypien whispers being floated

AP, Shady, Bell, Duke, Gurley..amongst others all waiting by the phone..who do the Giants bring in for a visit?? MF'n ALF....SMDH

How can this garden slug continue to get opportunities???

find out soon

FL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Packers have agreed to a reworked contract with Aaron Rodgers.​

The details are not yet known, but they will hopefully provide insight into Rodgers' post-2021 destiny. The early scuttlebutt is that the Pack would still control where Rodgers ends up if they divorce following this season, which has appeared inevitable. We will follow with the actual contractual details once they become available.

Man the nfl has spoken time and again….

There ain't no man alive can convince me that ALF can help a team more than any of the 4 dudes I mentioned,
No

everyone keeps telling me they're done..well he's BEEN done sine '16

I’m thinking he’s cheaper

 

[TREFF]

I’m thinking he’s cheaper

AP signed in Detroit for 1mil...vet minimum is roughly 600k...he ain't much cheaper, if at all

Edit- Alfs contract in NY 2020, 1 million...ughh

BTW, Detriot got roughly 3x the production too..

Yeah bells been done too but you keep pumping him. I mean, you can deny it, but these guys get jobs for a reason.

If it’s not money, then maybe they want someone who’s content with the role they have in mind and won’t cause waves about things like how many snaps, how many carries. Teams may figure it just isn’t worth dealing with from a backup.

Well that I can get behind, especially if we're specifically talking about Bell as the alternative. Probably the most expensive, definitely the biggest headache. But...whatever the reason is...it ain't to help win games, cuz, the reality is, he doesn't help to win, hasn't since he was in Washington

 

[MilkSpiller22]

But this is something we always see. A team has a certain backup in mind. But if their starter does get hurt, it is not like they start these players. They usually will sign someone else afterwards.

Sammy Watkins is reportedly the best WR in Ravens camp.

Well there's a huge shocker

Colts QB Carson Wentz suffered a foot injury Thursday that will keep him out indefinitely.​

Wentz is undergoing further testing on his foot, which he injured at the end of Thursday's practice. Second-year QB Jacob Eason took over with the first team offense Friday, with Sam Ellinger working as his backup. The Athletic's Zak Keefer reported that Wentz felt a "twinge" in his foot, but the severity of the injury is still unknown. It's possible the Colts look to add a veteran quarterback in the coming days
