Aaron Rodgers reveals the three things h

There has been plenty of chatter coming out of Green Bay from this offseason, and that's a good thing. The quarterback, who is still waiting on a new deal from the new front office, is as thoughtful as it gets in the .Sure, sometimes he snaps at younger teammates who are not , but largely you hear a guy giving insightful input.To wit, what he would do if he was in charge of the NFL. Given commi sioner powers, Rodgers would immediately figure out a way to keep the lawyers out of the room when it comes to making NFL offseason changes.Or to at least make sure players had more input in the changes being made by owners. "The owners shouldn't be able to pa s rules without ratifying it through the players," Rodgers told Clark.Rodgers was referring to practice time, training se sions, etc. But he was also . Rodgers pointed out the owners managed to distract from Eddie Goldman Jersey the actual purpose of the protest by some players taking a knee by making the i sue about the anthem. More NFL "If you're going to take the focus off of what the protest was really aboutit was never about the anthem, it was never about the troops, it was about social equality and racial injusticethen make it ," Rodgers explained. Everybody in the stadium stands and does the exact same thing. You have people in the conce sion, people in the bathroom; you've Gale Sayers Jersey got cameramen on their knee watching. You can't have it one way or another." He also pointed out that, as an older player, he remembers when the players were not required to be on the field for the anthem. Things have changed drastically on that front in recent years.And Rodgers isn't wrong here: if the owners reached out to the players and had more communication about changes to the rules and policies, it would likely be much more well received than them simply voting on a policy and handing it down.The other thing Rodgers wants to see changed? The NFL getting rid of franchise tags. "I think I would not allow the franchise tags," he said. "Because I think that gives the team a lot of power over your future, and they can tag you a couple of times. That, obviously, restricts player movement."But Rodgers actually believes a lack of a tag would result in deals Cody Whitehair Jersey getting done sooner and things being easier for teams as a result."I think if you didn't have it, it would encourage teams to get deals done earlier and in the long run it actually might save them money," Rodgers said. "Because you're doing a guy's deal a year before he's ready to play, especially young guys. Maybe they get him for cheap and, if he has a huge season his last year, cheaper than they would have gotten him after that season, if you sign him early." The NFLPA is probably never going to get guaranteed contracts, or at least not in the football-playing lifetime of anyone who is currently in the NFL. But getting rid of franchise tags should be a pretty big component for the union, because it does limit player movement and it does create situations like what's unfolding with and . You think the would be me sing around with Donald's deal if he could walk into free agency after this year? No chance. He would have Mike Singletary Jersey gotten paid far earlier.On the other hand, was trying to hold out with three years left on his deal, so who knows what will actually make NFL players happy from that perspective.Rodgers also said he could see a situation where teams are allowed to have a soft cap in the NFL, which would, of course, result in more money being spent and generated, thanks to a luxury tax in place. "I would allow teams to go over the cap knowing if they do, since there's not a hard cap, they are going to be faced with some luxury tax i sues and they'd change their strategy," Rodgers explained. "It's not like we're hurtingjust like the , we're not hurting for revenue. We're doing excellent in the NFL and the NBA is doing fantastic as well."Honestly, these are all pretty good things. And Rodgers Prince Amukamara Jersey has concerns about practice habits as well -- Clark points out that he follows the rules VERY closely (which is smart, because knowing the rules gives you a big edge). And Rodgers sounds worried about the targeting i sues at both levels. Very understandable as well.Maybe he's got a future as NFL commi sioner. Too bad he'll have to wait about a decade based on how long he wants to play.

NFL Week 1 odds picks TV Patriots top St

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to season seven of my NFL picks. When I started this weekly column back in 2013, I was single, in my 20s and was known to pull off the occasional weekend bender in Vegas. Now, I'm married, in my 30s and all of my bender money is spent by my wife at Target. I still have no idea what she buys, but I have noticed that we seem to have at least three new throw pillows per week. Is that normal? The problem for me is that I have no idea what's normal anymore, and to be honest, I don't think any of us do, and that's mainly because we just lived through what might have been the craziest offseason of all time: got traded, almost mishap, quit football and I still haven't even listed anything that happened to Allen Robinson Jersey the , who kind of topped everyone in the craziest offseason department. I mean, a Patriots player two weeks ago and that wasn't even the that happened to someone in that organization this offseason. The Patriots also lost Rob Gronkowski to retirement, and I think what I'm trying to say here is that they've had too many weird things happen to them this offseason, which means I can't pick them to win the this season. So who am I picking? That's a great question, and you to see my predictions for the entire 2019 NFL season. If you click over, you'll see who I'm picking to win each division and who I'm picking to make the playoffs. You'll also notice that I'm the third-most hated person in Chicago due to the fact that I'm apparently the 11,000th millennial to show no faith in the this year. Another Millennial picking against the Bears. It's pretty hilarious. Dolphins get 5 wins? Against who?Anyway, just noting that you're the 11,000th Millennial who said the Bears will mi s the playoffs. Congrats. El Jefe (@ElJefeTulum) Millennials have gotten out of hand: First, they killed the cold cereal industry, then they went after the casual dining industry and now they're all picking the Bears to mi s the playoffs. I hate Millennials. Anyway, before we get to the picks, I have good news for the five of you who emailed in and demanded to CBS that I do more this season. Not only will I be writing this weekly picks column, but I'll also be podcasting a lot this year. As a matter of fact, you should go ahead and circle every Monday, Tuesday and Eddie Goldman Jersey Friday on your calendar from now until February, because that's when I'll be joining Will Brinson on the Pick Six Podcast ( ), the only daily NFL podcast around. Each week, we'll be joined by Ryan Wilson and Sean Wagner-McGough, and trust me when I say it's always a good time. I somehow locked myself in a room and instead of helping me, , and decided to mock me and take selfies John Breech (@johnbreech) On the other hand, if you hate podcasts, but love to read NFL picks from every po sible writer on the internet, then I can help you in that department, too. Well, kind of. James Daniels Jersey Although I don't have time to track down the picks from every NFL writer on the internet, I do have something for you: You can check out the Week 1 picks from . OK, I think I've made you guys wait long enough, so let's get to the picks. NFL Week 1 picks Green Bay at Chicago Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) Point spread: Bears, -3 Since I'm one of the 11,000 Millennials who hate the Bears, I decided to ignore everything Chicago did this offseason, well, except for their kicking competition, because there was no po sible way to ignore that. It had more drama than a crazy season of , and more eliminations than a crazy season of . First, there in the competition, then it got trimmed down to three, then , and now the Bears are going into the regular season with someone they're not exactly sure they have a future with, which pretty much describes how every bachelorette winner has ever felt after leaving the show. In the end, the kicking job went to Eddy Pineiro, who immediately did his best to make the Bears regret giving him the job. In his first game after he won the kicking competition, Pineiro managed to defy all laws of physics by somehow mi sing a 33-yard extra point by roughly 33 yards. Since that doesn't sound believable, I'm going to go ahead and show you the clip to prove it actually happened. Bears need to give up on finding a kicker and just go for two every time, and also never kick field goals John Breech (@johnbreech) If I'm the Bears, I'm not sure that's the guy I want kicking extra points for me. As for the , they'll be running a new offense on Thursday, and there's a good chance it's going to struggle, which is why I think this is going to be a low-scoring game that comes down to a field goal attempt by Piniero, and you can probably gue s by my prediction whether I think that kick is going to go in or not. The pick: Packers 20-17 over Bears L.A. at Carolina 1 p.m. ET (Fox) Point spread: Rams, -3 If you're ever thinking about becoming a sports writer, the Rams-Panthers game is the argument for why you should think about becoming a doctor first Buster Skrine Jersey . Besides the fact that it pays slightly more, being a doctor will help you figure out who's going to win close games, like this one. You see, if you had a medical degree, you'd have a better idea of whose body is more likely to fall apart on Sunday: or . The Rams have been trying to convince us all offseason that Gurley's knee isn't an i sue, but then his trainer said that there " in the knee and now I don't know what to believe. Just kidding, I believe the trainer. As for Cam, the last time we saw him in a regular season game came last year when he couldn't even throw a football 30 yards downfield due to an injured shoulder. Although he fixed that problem with surgery, he's now got another problem . Since I'm not a doctor, I can't say whether Gurley or Chicago Bears Jersey Newton has it worse, but I think I can unequivocally say that the advantage in this game goes to the Rams, and that's because if Gurley is le s than 100 percent, they've got two quality running backs who can fill-in. On the other hand, if Newton is le s than 100 percent, there's a 100 percent chance the are going to lose. And just in case I'm not being clear, I'm taking the Rams, although I have to admit, I hate betting against anyone who went celibate for a month during the offseason. Cam Newton is.... going celibate! MOUGshow (@MOUGshow) I should probably go celibate for a month if I mi s this pick. The pick: Rams 16-13 over Panthers San Francisco at Tampa Bay 1 p.m. ET (Fox) Point spread: Pick'em I'm not sure who's in charge of making the coaching hires in Tampa Bay, but I'm starting to think it might actually be former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter. After the fired Dirk Koetter following , Carter immediately got on Twitter and begged Bruce Arians to take the Tampa job. Ok Im going out on a limb. Im BEGGING you

The , with exactly two weeks to go until the start of free agency, tight ends and . While Cook was slated to become a free agent on March 17, the release of Hill clears about $2.5 million in cap space.A third-round pick in the 2009 draft, Cook signed a two-year, $15 million deal with the Saints in 2019 Ish Smith Jersey . During his first season in New Jerry Stackhouse Jersey Orleans, Cook made his second consecutive Pro Bowl after catching 43 of 65 targets for 705 yards and nine touchdowns. Last season, Cook caught 37 of 60 targets for 504 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished as the team's third leading receiver, behind running back and receiver .Despite his succe s, Cook's run in New Orleans ended unceremoniously. With the Saints holding a 20-13 lead over the in the divisional round of the playoffs, Cook's fumble set up the game Rick Mahorn Jersey -tying touchdown. The score was the first of 17 unanswered points by the Buccaneers, who defeated the Saints en route to the franchise's second win.While Cook has already played for five different teams, Hill spent the first eight years of his career in New Orleans. A former undrafted rookie, Hill Detroit Pistons Jersey inked a three-year, $8.85 million extension with the Saints at the end of the 2018 regular season. Valued more for his blocking than his receiving, Hill caught just eight pa ses for 46 yards and a touchdown in 2020, his lowest totals since his rookie season. With Cook and Hill no longer on the roster, Reggie Jackson Jersey second-year tight end has risen to the top of the Saints' depth chart.

The unbeaten will try to avoid a letdown when they visit the for Thursday Night Football. Kickoff from State Farm Stadium is at 8:20 p.m. ET on Halloween night. San Francisco (7-0) is coming off a 51-13 statement Grant Hill Jersey win over the and has a date with NFC West rival Seattle on deck. For the surprising Cardinals, who are 3-4-1 under rookie coach Kliff Kingsbury and rookie quarterback Kyler Murray, it's a prime opportunity in the national spotlight. Sportsbooks list San Francisco as a 10-point favorite in the latest Cardinals vs. 49ers odds after the line jumped up from eight, while the over-under for total points is 43.5. Both teams have covered the spread five times this season. Before you make any 49ers vs. Cardinals picks or predictions, see what Vegas handicapper and Arizona expert Zack Cimini just locked in.A highly-respected Las Vegas handicapper who's never afraid to buck conventional wisdom, Cimini cashed on 60 percent of his picks for SportsLine members last season. More strikingly, he has nailed six straight against the spread picks involving Arizona. Cimini hails from Arizona and has his finger on Caron Butler Jersey the Cardinals' pulse.Now, Cimini has broken down Niners vs. Cardinals on Thursday Night Football from every angle and locked in another strong against the spread pick. He's sharing it only at SportsLine.Cimini knows the 49ers will be highly motivated to end their eight-game skid in this series. They should be able to frustrate Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, who's making his first primetime start, as they've Terry Mills Jersey held their past four opponents to 100 or fewer pa sing yards. Arizona managed just three field goals in last week's 31-9 lo s at New Orleans, so the Cards' offense doesn't enter with much confidence. San Francisco has covered three of its four road games this season, the exception coming when the Niners (-9.5) handled Washington 9-0 in a virtual monsoon. And when the Niners faced a tougher defense than Arizona's last week, they punished Carolina with 232 rushing yards on 38 carries.But just because San Francisco is undefeated and thriving on both sides of the ball doesn't mean it will cover the 49ers vs. Marcus Morris Jersey Cardinals spread on Thursday Night Football.The Cardinals aren't likely to make it easy on the 49ers. Arizona has not committed a turnover in its past four games, going 3-1 straight-up and against the spread in that span. Remarkably, the Cardinals have not lost a fumble this season, while rookie quarterback has thrown just four interceptions. Moreover, the team got good injury news this week when stud running back (questionable), who mi sed last week's lo s at New Orleans with an ankle injury, was able to practice on a limited basis. Johnson's return would bolster an offense that scored 87 points in three games (29.0 per game) before stumbling versus the . Arizona Ersan Ilyasova Jersey has covered three straight versus San Francisco and is 4-1 against the spread in its last five October games.During his exhaustive analysis, Cimini uncovered a critical x-factor that has him going big on one side of the spread.

Browns vs. Raiders odds Picks prediction

The upstart seek their second straight Matthew Dellavedova Jersey win on Sunday when they visit the struggling . The Raiders are 2.5-point sportsbook favorites, down from an opener of -3 at most outlets. The over-under for total points scored has taken a slight dip to 44 after opening at 44.5. It's a nail-biter on the money line too. The Browns are +115 to win outright (risk $100 to win $115), while the Raiders are -135 (risk $135 to win $100). Cleveland is looking to build on momentum stemming from a breakthrough win against the in Week 3, while the Raiders are in search of their first win of the season. Before you make any Browns vs. Raiders picks, check out what SportsLine expert Mike Tierney has to say.Tierney is a national sportswriter whose work appears in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times. He is also one of SportsLine's most succe sful handicappers in every sport. Tierney specializes in the , and he is off to another hot start with his against the spread picks for SportsLine members. In fact, he's winning them at an amazing 70 percent clip.What's more, he's looking to build on an incredible record when it comes to these clubs. Over the past two seasons, Tierney Ray Allen Jersey boasts a record of 17-4 in games involving either the Browns or Raiders. Just last week, Tierney advised SportsLine members to support the moribund Browns, who went winle s last season, against the Jets. Rookie came off the bench to lead Cleveland to a 21-17 victory, their first in 635 days, and those who followed Tierney's selection cashed in another winner.For Raiders vs. Browns, we can tell you Tierney leans toward the Over in this one, but his much stronger play is on the side. He has released a strong point-spread selection that is only available at Khris Middleton Jersey SportsLine. Tierney knows the Browns furthered their reputation as lovable losers with their appearance on "Hard Knocks," the HBO documentary that followed the team's travails through training camp. Baker Mayfield emerged as the protagonist, and the top overall draft pick from compelled viewers with his skills on the field and his accompanying swagger. The Heisman Trophy winner played well in the preseason, but coach Hue Jackson went with veteran to start the opener.Taylor played fairly well in the first two games, but couldn't get anything going in the first half against the Jets last week. Quickly trailing 14-0, the Browns turned to Mayfield for his much-anticipated pro debut. Mayfield didn't disappoint, leading two late touchdown drives to complete the comeback and ensure the Browns wouldn't go winle s in consecutive seasons. The Browns have covered the spread in all three games this season.Even so, there's no guarantee they can continue their momentum and cover against a Raiders club that is hoping to make a breakthrough of its own as it enters a new era. The Raiders (0-3) Greg Monroe Jersey are winle s in the first year of their second stint under Jon Gruden, who signed a $100 million contract to return to coaching following nearly a decade away from the game. Oakland's defense was impacted by the late trade of star linebacker to Chicago and the offense has a shortage of explosive playmakers.Still, the Raiders are a couple tough breaks away from Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey being 2-1. They dominated most of the way against Denver before a late defensive letdown allowed the to set up the game-winning field goal in their 20-19 victory.Last week against the , Oakland similarly controlled the action most of the way, but the Raiders were felled by two turnovers and a defense that gave up two long scoring plays. The Dolphins managed a 28-20 win despite being out-gained 434-373 in total yardage and losing the time of po se sion battle by a 17-minute margin. Tierney has unearthed the critical x-factor that makes one side of the spread a must-back. He's only sharing at SportsLine.Who wins Browns vs. Raiders?

Packers HaHa Clinton-Dix says Martellus

By now you're likely familiar with the saga, but let's recap it anyway: Fresh off a win with the , Bennett Ray Allen Jersey signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the this offseason. Through the early part of the season, Bennett was heavily targeted, but struggled with drops and failed to reach the end zone.In Week 6, was hit late by linebacker , and broke his collarbone. stepped in for Rodgers, and made it clear with his play that the Green Bay offense would not reach the same heights. Bennett began musing about retirement at the end of the season, and eventually told the Packers he wanted to have season-ending surgery for a shoulder injury. Rather than shutting him down, the Packers released Bennett. The Patriots claimed Bennett off waivers, and then he played for them a few Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey days later, catching all three pa ses thrown his way.Needle s to say, some of the Packers' players feel like there was some fishy busine s going on there. One of those Packers is safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, who did not mince words regarding his feelings on Bennett."Me, personally? Vin Baker Jersey ," Clinton-Dix said, per the . "I don't fault him, but I did think he quit on us. He let us down -- as a teammate. For a guy that came in, of his caliber, his leadership quote-unquote, I expected more from him. I held him to a higher standard, me personally. But he handled it the way he wanted to handle it." Linebacker obliquely addre sed the situation by harking back to things his father (former NFLer Clay Matthews Jr.) used to say to him."My dad, when we were growing up, he said Jabari Parker Jersey whatever you choose to pursue in life, you see it through," Matthews said. "I remember when I went to USC and my first training camp, I was this walk-on and had zero friends, and I came home and said, 'I don't want to be there anymore.' And he said, 'No, you signed up for this, you see it through.'"Like when a guy's injured, you know when guys are out there and they're hurting and they're not 100 percent but they're giving it up for the guy next to them, they feel a certain John Henson Jersey sense of accountability. You love to see guys who really want to battle and fight and see it through." It's patently obvious that he does not see Bennett as one of those guys, and it's hard to blame anyone on the Packers for feeling that way right now, given the way things went down in Green Bay.

Heres why members of the 0-16 Lions are

The are having a rough go of things in 2016, failing to win a game 15 weeks into the season. They are 0-14 after being shellacked by the in Week 15 and don't have any easy games left on the schedule. Going 0-16 isn't a po sibility anymore, it's a likelihood. Week 16 And the last -- and only -- team to ever put a goose egg in the win column over a 16-game season isn't rooting for the Browns to Ben Smith Jersey join them. In fact, members of the 2008 , technically the worst team in the history of football, are actually pulling really hard for the Browns to pick up a win. Multiple members of the team spoke to Dave Birkett of the in an excellent story that really captures the pain of having to lose week after week after week after week for 16 weeks. "I don't want to have anyone have to go through that," former Lions long snapper told Birkett. "I just remember how rough that was. Just every week, having to just -- it just kept building and building. That's not football, in my mind. There's too much other stuff going on, too. I hope they get one." Former linebacker Ryan Nece recalled a situation Tyson Jost Jersey heading into Week 17 where he tried to give a pep talk and, a few moments into his motivational speech, everyone basically told him to stop talking. "Guys were like, 'Ah, screw this pep talk. Let's just go play,'" Nece said. "It was like, 'Let's go get this over with and either we're going to face the music in that we become 0-16 or we find a way to get a victory and then we never talk Gabriel Landeskog Jersey about it again.'" , perhaps the most famous member of that team because of his safety-inducing run out of the back of the end zone in his first start replacing Jon Kitna, is basically so traumatized by the season that he wouldn't do interviews with Birkett for the story. "I think you know my personal feelings," Orlovsky said. The Browns were one of the friskiest bad teams in football at the start of the season, losing some tough games.
