Bears could leave Soldier Field in near future plus dissecting Aaron Rodgers situation Day 3 impact rookies
At some point this offseason, we will have a newsletter that does not mention , but this is not that newsletter.For the 112th consecutive day, Aaron Rodgers is still in the headlines, and if you think about it, that's kind of amazing, because he hasn't publicly done an interview where he talked .That means that we've now gone more than a full month without hearing from Rodgers. I think he's giving us the silent treatment and if it's anything like when my wife gives me the silent treatment, that's not good news for the . Ironically, my wife only gives me the silent treatment when I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers. I think she's already sick of hearing about it, which means she's probably not going to read today's newsletter, because we have plenty of Rodgers information coming at you.We'll also take a look at another NFC North team with a potential controversy on its hands, and that team is the , who are thinking about moving just outside of Chicago. Alright, let's get to the rundown. As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. To sign up, all you have to do is. 1. Today's show: Di secting the Aaron Rodgers situation in Green BayDuring the offseason, news can sometimes get kind of slow, but not this offseason and that's because the squabble between Aaron Rodgers and the Packers is the gift that keeps on giving to the 24-hour news cycle. If you're already tired of reading about Aaron Rodgers, I have some bad news for George Springer Jersey you, his name is going to be dominating the headlines until this situation gets resolved and based on things are going, it doesn't seem like it's going to be resolved anytime soon.The situation is going to end in one of three ways: Rodgers gets traded, Rodgers retires or Rodgers returns to Green Bay. There's no one who knows more about this situation than CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, so Will Brinson decided to invite him on for today's podcast and the two spent the entire episode talking about Rodgers.If you want to know how La Canfora thinks the situation in Green Bay is going to end, you're going to have to listen to the podcast. To listen to today's show -- and to follow the podcast --. 2. Could Aaron Rodgers actually return to Green Bay?If you have had your Aaron Rodgers fill for the day already, then I suggest moving on to the next section because all you're going to get here is MORE Aaron Rodgers. After covering roughly 91 topics about the Packers quarterback yesterday, we have one more today and it's an interesting one.After seven straight days of hearing that there was no way Rodgers would return to Green Bay, there's been a much softer tone in recent days and it's a tone that suggests that Rodgers might be amicable to making up with the Packers.The interesting thing about the latest information is that it's coming from the people who know Rodgers the best. Yesterday, Rodgers' friend said he thought things could be worked out. Later Thursday, another Rodgers friend and former Packers teammate, , said the same thing. "I speak Josh Reddick Jersey with ," Jones said, via NFL.com. "I talk to him a lot and it has nothing to do about getting the GM fired. It has nothing to do about getting a new contract and getting money. Everything that Aaron Rodgers has done since he's been a Green Bay Packer, this is not him, he's not a guy that's going to go out there and leak all this stuff and say he wants out of there and be giving all this stuff to the media. That's never been him."Jones also added that he things the situation is fixable,"When the organization side of it comes into place and you talk about him and the GM and the head coach working together, I think it's fixable, I think they'll be able to get that stuff done," Jones said.Another former teammate of Rodgers, , also had an interesting opinion. Hawk's take probably carries the most weight and that's because he was WITH RODGERS LAST WEEKEND at the Kentucky Derby. "We're in a weird spot right now, the Packers are in a very tough spot and Aaron, as well, so I'm hopeful that something can happen," Hawk said.Despite those optimistic comments, Hawk did also add that it will be an "uphill battle" for the Packers to get things figured out.By the way, if you're wondering how in the name of Vince Lombardi we got to this point with Rodgers and the Packers, you can of in the 2020 NFL Draft. 3. Ranking 10 rookies drafted on Day 3 who have the best chance of having an instant impactIf you're trying to build a succe sful team in the NFL, the best way to do it is to hit on a few late-round picks. If you can find a diamond in the rough late in the draft, it comes with one big advantage: You have a potential starter under contract for cheap for a total of four years.As you probably already know, was a late-round pick and due to his succe s and low cost of his contract, the were able to build around him to win three Super Bowls in his first four seasons as a starter. Although we'll almost certainly never see a late-round pick reach the level of succe s that Brady has, the fact of the matter is that it's po sible to find good players on the final day of the draft, which consists of rounds 4 through 7.So who could those players be this year?Glad you asked. Chris Trapa so made a list of six players drafted on Day 3 who could make an instant impact with their new team this year. Let's get to the list:, RB, (Fourth round, 107th overall pick). , WR, (Fourth round, 109th overall pick). , WR, (Fourth round, 112th overall pick). , RB, (Fourth round, 126th overall pick). , EDGE, (Sixth round, 216th overall pick). , CB, Bears (Sixth round, 216th overall pick). I'm also going to throw in kicker . When it comes to making an impact, it doesn't get much bigger than potentially winning a game for your team by hitting a field goal in the final seconds and it won't be surprising if the fifth-rounder from Florida does that once or twice this season in Cincinnati.For a more in-depth look at each player on Trapa so's list, .4. Bears po sibly thinking about leaving Soldier Field?After 50 years of playing at Soldier Field, it seems that the Chicago Bears are thinking about leaving the iconic stadium. Apparently, the team is considering a move to Arlington Heights, which is a suburb that sits roughly 30 miles outside of Chicago. If you're wondering why the Bears would move, it basically boils Dallas Keuchel Jersey down to this: A piece of property big enough for an NFL stadium is about to become available in Arlington Heights and if the Bears get a new stadium there, it would be an upgrade over Soldier Field, which has the smallest capacity of any stadium in the NFL.During an interview last week, Arlington Heights Mayor Tom Hayes revealed the the Bears were "seriously considering" a move to the site."Certainly, the Arlington Park site is available and we would consider the Chicago Bears," Hayes said, via Fox 32 in Chicago. "I think the Bears are seriously considering it because it's such a unique piece of property. It has so much going for it in terms of its location in the northwest suburbs where a lot of their audience is." A Bears executive didn't deny that the team was mulling a po sible move when asked about the situation . One thing that could prevent the Bears moving any time soon is that they have a lease at Soldier Field that runs through the 2033 season.Despite the fact that there's a lease in place, Hayes isn't discounting a po sible move before 2033."I know there's contracts involved and lease agreements," Hayes said. "But a good attorney will tell you, you can always get out of those. There might be a significant price involved, but I would think if they wanted to make it happen, they could make it happen."A horse track currently sits on the site where a potential Bears stadium would go, but the property is going to be sold in the coming months with the expectation that the new owner will raze and redevelop the property. If the Bears invest any money in the new site, that would be a good sign that they plan on moving.Basically, this will definitely be a situation worth watching over the next few months and years. For . 5. One thing each team got right in the draft and one thing each got wrong Even though everyone seems to think that their team had a perfect draft, I have some bad news for you: Your favorite team didn't have a perfect draft. For this entire week, we've been running a series that covers one thing each team got right in the draft and one thing each team got wrong.We'll be wrapping that series up today with our final three teams and because I love surprises, we're going to focus on the team that surprised everyone in the draft: The .In the five weeks leading up to the draft, the 49ers fooled everyone into thinking they were going to take , but then they turned around and took instead.

Rapid-fire roundupIt's been a busy 24 hours in the NFL and since it's nearly impo sible to keep track of everything that happened, I went ahead and put together a roundup for you. sign .Dolphins coach Brian Flores has apparently decided to turn his team into the Patriots south. McCourty, who spent the past three years in New England, has . The defensive back played under Flores in 2018 while both were with the Patriots.Dolphins add son of Pro Football Hall of Famer.Besides signing McCourty, the Dolphins also made another move this week. The team signed tight end and this signing is mostly notable for two things: Blount didn't play college football AND he's the on of Pro Football Hall of Famer Mel Blount.Lions cut ties with .It's been rumored all week that the Lions were going to release Marwin Gonzalez Jersey Kerryon Johnson and although that move was expected to happen on Wednesday, the Lions didn't actually go through with it . Johnson had been with the Lions since 2018 when he was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft.NFLPA at odds with NFL.The NFLPA and NFL could he headed for a heated battle this offseason over whether players should be paid if they get injured while working out away from their team facility. The subject came into focus this week when Denver's tore his Achilles while working out on his own. After the injury, the NFL made sure to remind players that your team doesn't have to pay you if that happens (James could lose up to $10 million in salary). The NFLPA has called the NFL 'gutle s' for making an example of James. For more details on this situation, . become first team to sign their first-round pick. We finally have a first-round pick under contract. The first player to sign was , who agreed to a four-year deal worth $13.6 million. Like all contracts for first-rounders, the deal also includes a fifth-year option. Paye, a defensive end, was the 21st overall pick in this year's draft.7. The Kicker: is trying to qualify for the OlympicsAfter DK Metcalf chased down following, USA Track & Field (USATF) for the U.S. Olympic team. Although I'm 60% sure they were half-joking, Metcalf is going to get the last laugh, because he's decided that he's actually going to try out for the team.The first step in the try out proce s will come on Sunday when Metcalf competes in the 100m race at the USATF Journey to Gold Series (4:30 p.m. ET, NBC). According , Metcalf will need to run the race in 10.2 seconds if he wants to qualify for the Olympic Trials, which are taking place in June.If Jose Cruz Jersey you're wondering whether Metcalf can pull this off, he did hit 22.64 mph when he ran down Baker and he did that while in football pads. If he did that for a full 100m, that would translate to a time of 9.88. However, when he's running on the track, Metcalf will be starting from a block, which means he won't be able to hit 22.64 mph right away, which means a 9.88 would be almost impo sible. Of course, he doesn't have to run a 9.88, he just has to hit 10.2.If you're going to watch Metcalf on Sunday, remember to call your mom before you do. And if you're not going to watch, you should still call your mom because all moms love getting a phone call on Mother's Day.Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! See everyone on Monday.
