Amazon Prime's TNF Exclusivity will start in 2022 opposed to 2023. I like how cord cutting turned into paying more than what you what pay for TV with 50 different apps lol.

Interesting tweet..... it seems something is about to go down in Green Bay. Way too much smoke for it not to be a fire.

Our first injury of the 2021 Offseason... Broncos lose RT Juwan James who tore his Achilles working out away from the team and was coming back this season after opting out in 2020. The players union telling players to stay away from offseason training may have just backfired. James just lost money since he wasn't with the team when the injury occurred.

I'm so used to everything being a ACL injury lol. Just sucks for him that the Players Union gave him and other players bad advice about not going to workouts and basically just cost him money. Wonder if this is what it takes for the players to look for better representation within the Union.

might make some players re-assess if they wanna train away from facilities because of the opting out from voluntary work - working onsite at least let’s you keep the injury guarantees

I like him here with Andrews as receiving threats
In a 3 TE set with like the four WRs we've added in the last few years? I just don't see what he does other than being a backup for Andrews. He would see limited to no targets in this offense.

Here's on that's likely to stir up the NFL vs NFLPA relations...

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl-se...owe-injured-ja-wuan-james-10-m-225103869.html

Basically, when the NFLPA went on its little tirade about trying to get all their players to stay home and not doing voluntary OTAs this Spring, they either missed the mark, didn't understand, or didn't care about the fact that most injuries suffered by players outside team facilities can largely void a player's contract.

JuWuan James decision to workout away from team facilities may have easily just cost us a cool $10M this season. It'll be entirely up to the discretion, and in some ways, generosity, of the Broncos whether they agree to pay him for it or not.

Adam Schefter explains the Aaron Rodgers situation and that the news he dropped last week was based off an "accumulation of information", nothing really came out that said he wanted out. Basically Schefter just wanted to click bait everyone, and everything you hear about how Rodgers wants the GM fired, and everything else is fake news.

That is absolutely accurate, correct,” Schefter said when asked if he chose to break the story on draft day. “It was nothing that morning that came in that all of a sudden said to me, ‘Yeah he wants out, you should report this’. . . . It was just an accumulation of information.

Schefter explained that, after Paul Allen of KFAN reported that the 49ers made a trade offer to the Packers, it became inevitable that the deeper story of Rodgers’ discontent was going to come out. So Schefter realized that the story that he’d been holding wasn’t going to sit much longer. So he dropped it. On the first day of the draft.

“I said, ‘How long until it gets out that Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay?'” Schefter told Dan. “It’s gonna come out. What does it matter if it comes out now or next week or next month?”
