The Aaron Rodgers saga seems never-ending, but now time is working against the legendary NFL quarterback. The former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets star still hasn’t given the Pittsburgh Steelers an answer, as they continue to wait for him, while the Minnesota Vikings appear to have shut the door.
Just days before the NFL Draft, it was leaked that Aaron Rodgers had proposed a one-year project to the Minnesota Vikings, which involved making a Super Bowl run next season and, more importantly, mentoring J.J. McCarthy as the franchise’s next quarterback. But that plan seems to be off the table, and Rodgers will either have to say yes to the Steelers or seriously consider retirement.
Awful play! Aaron Rodgers’ last pass with Davante Adams
The Vikings Likely to Start J.J. McCarthy
Kevin O’Connell, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, hasn’t officially named J.J. McCarthy as the starting quarterback, but all indications point to that outcome. The former Michigan Wolverines QB was injured during last year’s preseason but is now fully healthy.
“J.J. is going to be in a great position to step in and rise within our organization,” O’Connell said on The Rich Eisen Show. “But right now, we don’t really feel like there’s a competition – rather, as coaches we have a duty to put our players in a position to face that competitive phase. Sam [Howell] will be a part of it. But we need to prepare Sam to play. We need to prepare Brett Rypien to play. . . . I’m excited about our quarterback group, but now it’s our job to coach them.”
Baltimore Ravens Release Kicker Justin Tucker Amidst Allegations
Last year, McCarthy was competing with Sam Darnold, but Darnold tore the meniscus in his right knee. After a strong season, Darnold signed with the Seattle Seahawks in free agency, and now it seems McCarthy has a clear path, as the idea of Aaron Rodgers joining the franchise has been gradually fading away.
On another note, the Vikings’ head coach highlighted McCarthy’s impressive growth, especially in terms of leadership.
“Yes, he’s off to a great start in his offseason program,” said O’Connell. “Even before the injury, the path he was on… This kid came here with an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm since last year.”

College football coaches discussing plan to add NFL-style OTAs to spring practice calendar
A new proposal circulating among coaches aims to expand spring practice into NFL-style organized team activities (OTAs), in response to the increase in spring transfers and roster turnover, along with the possibility that college football moves to a single transfer portal window.The OTA idea, which was formed by the American Football Coaches Association board of trustees last month, is now being socialized at conference spring meetings. It would add six non-padded workouts to the existing 15 spring practices, but those 21 allotted days could be split across two different five-week windows for a total of seven weeks. There must be at least three weeks between the two sessions, which could span from anywhere between January and June.Advertisement“If you’re a Clemson who doesn’t lose anybody, you can have a traditional spring and get six extra opportunities in the summer,” said Liberty […]

From the first-base box to circling the bases: Auburn’s Andrew Dutton delivers a movie moment
Andrew Dutton is no stranger to storybook moments. Last season, Dutton and his Birmingham-Southern teammates made an improbable run into the Division III College World Series shortly after the school announced it would be closing due to financial troubles. After transferring to Auburn as a graduate student, Dutton had carved a niche for himself on the Tigers this season as their first-base coach. But when Auburn took an 18-0 lead over Jacksonville State in their final regular-season game at Plainsman Park, Dutton finally got his chance in the batter’s box. He didn’t miss it.Dutton took a 2-1 pitch well over the wall in right field in his first at-bat of the season, giving the Tigers a 19-0 lead and his teammates a chance to go wild. Andrew Dutton played 4 years at Birmingham-Southern, leading them to the D3 College World […]
2025 NFL schedule: Full list of ‘Thursday Night Football’ slate, including Sean McVay vs. Kyle Shanahan
Getty Images The 2025 regular-season schedule has been unveiled. While we already knew the matchups for each game next season, when they'd be slotted in throughout the 18-game schedule was still a question. One of the specific storylines for teams during this schedule release was whether or not they'd be suiting up for "Thursday Night Football," which will again stream on Amazon's Prime Video. Those questions have since been answered. In all, 14 games fall under Prime Video's "Thursday Night Football" umbrella. Of course, the season will get started on Thursday, Sept. 4, when the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys, but that doesn't technically fall under the "Thursday Night Football" branding. Instead, it's presented in the same vein as "Sunday Night Football," with it airing on NBC. Meanwhile, these games aren't the only ones that'll stream […]

Uma delas foi o retorno do atacante Julio Furch, que fez seu primeiro trabalho com o restante do elenco santista depois de passar cinco meses afastado da equipe.

PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Afastado do time Furch chegou a 2025 sem estar nos planos de Pedro Caixinha, técnico que começou a temporada comandando o Peixe.
