Factoid: Aaron Rodgers
In general, I'm in on Aaron Rodgers this season. I think the new Jets quarterback will be playing with a chip on his shoulder, which has worked out for other older elite quarterbacks changing teams. And I think he can still play. But I'm not sure he's going to be able to do it for more than one season, and even for 2023, I can't help but wondering how much he has left. more »

What player was his team’s Rookie of the Year in 1968, left following that season to serve in Vietnam, and was killed in action on July 21, 1970? answer »
Factoid: Bijan Robinson
The selection of Bijan Robinson with the eighth pick of the draft surprised the heck out of me. Teams don’t like to select running backs that early, and it doesn’t seem like a position of need for the Falcons. more »

Around the NFL: Giants wide receivers
Looking at the Giants offense, I'm perplexed as to who their top wide receiver will be. They have a lot of different guys who have done stuff in the past, and several guys who they're hoping will do stuff in the future. But hard to be confident any will do it this year. more »

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are quite a combo. It’s unusually for a team to have two wide receivers putting up those kind of numbers at the same time. more »
Around the NFL: Baker Mayfield
The Bucs are going from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback, which is why I have zero interest in anything connected with Tampa Bay's offense. Their receivers aren't likely to put up numbers remotely close to what they've done in the past. more »

Factoid: Elijah Moore
The Browns didn't have any early draft picks, but they did bring an early-round talent in former Jet wideout Elijah Moore. Moore's time in New York looked finite when he complained about his role and wanted to be traded a year ago, plus the Jets had to clear room for Aaron Rodgers' various golfing buddies.

Around the NFL: Offseason winners
Picking through the gains and losses for each team, it looks like the Bears, Falcons, Jets and Texans have had the strongest offseasons. That’s how it looks when you ballpark the value of the players switching teams, and that opinion is supported by the value of the contracts handed out. more »
