Aaron Rodgers Seemingly Breaks Twitter Silence Amid Jets Rumors

by

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterback talents to ever step on an NFL field. However, his off-season antics can be pretty nauseating. Every single year, it feels like he holds the Packers hostage. Last year, Rodgers did so because he wanted a better contract. Overall, that is exactly what he got. Although, it came at the expense of his best weapon, Devante Adams. Subsequently, Rodgers and the Packers wound up missing the playoffs. Since that time, Rodgers has gone into a darkness retreat and has sparked all sorts of rumors.

Last week, Rodgers ended up meeting with none other than the New York Jets. The Jets are a team in desperate need of a quarterback, and Rodgers fits the bill. Yesterday, it was reported that the Jets and Packers had officially agreed to a trade. Although, this was a premature report. Rodgers still hasn’t made a decision, and consequently, there is more confusion than ever before. No one knows what the QB is trying to do, and many fans are just frustrated with the situation.

Aaron Rodgers Speaks?

As you can see above, Rodgers broke his Twitter silence late last night. His account tweeted out “SULLLLL” with some laughing emojis. However, it was quickly made apparent that this might not be Rodgers tweeting. In a tweet from Rodgers’ current teammate Rasul Douglas, it was implied that it was him tweeting from Rodgers’ account. “I told y’all I have his phone,” Douglas wrote. No matter what the circumstances are, there is no doubt that Packers fans are frustrated. They just want to move on with free agency, while the Jets just want a quarterback.

At the end of the day, Rodgers has a habit of being inconsiderate of his teammates. It is unfortunate, but that is just the fact of the matter. Hopefully, Rodgers will finally make up his mind and be done with this saga. Even Tom Brady doesn’t make us wait this long for his decisions, and he has seven Super Bowls. Be sure to keep it locked to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Premature Aaron Rodgers Trade Report Sends Twitter Into A Frenzy

by

Aaron Rodgers is currently the biggest story in the NFL world. Overall, this is because he could very well be going to the New York Jets. For the third-straight offseason, he is teasing a departure from the Green Bay Packers. However, he always seems to go back to his former team. Although, it seems like this time is actually a whole lot different. For instance, last week, he met with the Jets and made it seem like he is actually very interested in what they have to offer.

Today is the start of NFL free agency, which means players can sign with whomever they want. Consequently, all of the insiders on Twitter want to get that first scoop. Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport are the GOATs when it comes to NFL scoops. Although, there are some up-and-comers who are trying to take the crown. Unfortunately, this has led to some misinformation. For instance, earlier today, Dov Kleiman took to Twitter and said Aaron Rodgers to the Jets was a done deal. Moreover, he used Trey Wingo of all people as the source.

Aaron Rodgers To New York…Not!

As you can see above, Kleiman quickly retracted his reporting as soon as Ian Rapoport refuted it on the NFL Network. Despite this, the damage was done for about 10 minutes as fans acted as though Aaron Rodgers had, indeed, been traded. The reactions were a huge frenzy of football fans who could not believe Rodgers was going somewhere other than the Packers. Additionally, it led to jubilation among Jets fans. However, these same Jets fans had their hearts ripped out when they found out that the report was truly bogus.

Now, the Aaron Rodgers saga only gets that much more frustrating. Every offseason we are left waiting on whatever Rodgers wants to do. It is almost as if he is holding all of us, including the franchise that drafted him, hostage. Hopefully, we get some more clarity on all of this throughout the week. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this saga, down below.

Jimmy Garoppolo Finds A New NFL Home

by

Jimmy Garoppolo is a quarterback who has been through a lot over these past couple of years. Garoppolo first got his start with the New England Patriots, where he was the backup to Tom Brady. However, after some solid starts, Garoppolo went to the San Francisco 49ers where he become the starter. Overall, Jimmy G was very solid as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He even brought them to a Super Bowl back in 2020. Although, many felt like he was a bit of a dead end for that team, and he wasn’t the QB of the future.

At the start of this past season, Garoppolo was subsequently placed on the bench in favor of Trey Lance. Eventually, Lance got injured and Garoppolo had to come back in. For a large chunk of the season, Jimmy G was great, until he got injured and replaced by Brock Purdy. Following an exit in the NFC Championship game, it became clear that the team was looking to move on from Garoppolo. Consequently, he has been trying to find a new team that will pay him a worthwhile salary.

Jimmy Garoppolo Finds His Team

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Garoppolo has found just that. Today, he signed a massive three-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. This contract is worth $67.5 million and $34 million of that will be guaranteed. Now, the team is going from Derek Carr, to Jimmy G. Depending on who you ask, this is going to be seen as a downgrade. However, Garoppolo has actually won in the playoffs, which will separate him. No matter what the Raiders did at quarterback, it was going to be hard for them to compete in the AFC West.

There are plenty of other great storylines to watch in the NFL right now. For instance, Odell Beckham Jr. is trying to get back into the league. Moreover, Aaron Rodgers is in the midst of making his big decision. It is going to be fun to watch, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news from the sports world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this particular signing, down below.

Shannon Sharpe Reacts To OBJ Wanting $20 Million Per Year

by

Shannon Sharpe is someone who knows what it takes to be successful in the NFL. Overall, he was one of the best tight ends to ever do it. In fact, many credit him for changing the way the position is played. Moreover, he was able to win three Super Bowl titles, and he did so over a four-year span. He is simply a legend of the game, and when he speaks, football fans listen. Unfortunately, he cannot get his own co-host to listen, but we digress.

Now that NFL free agency is here, Sharpe is getting to talk about his bread and butter, which is football. This year, there has already been a ton of movement. Additionally, players like Odell Beckham Jr. are trying to get back on the field. In fact, OBJ recently held a workout in which 12 teams showed up. Clearly, there is some interest in the wide receiver. However, he is looking for a contract that would pay him a whopping $20 million per year. This figure has raised some eyebrows, including Sharpe’s.

Shannon Sharpe Speaks

In the clip above, Sharpe speaks on how this figure doesn’t really make much sense. Although Shannon Sharpe likes Odell, he believes the asking price is just too high. After all, Beckham Jr. has been through some injuries over these past few years. “He looked good, under control, but $20M for a guy who is coming off two ACL surgeries is asking an awful lot,” Sharpe said. In the past, it seemed like either the Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, or Dallas Cowboys would sign him. However, there is no telling which team wants him right now. Overall, it is one of those big stories to continue following.

Now that OBJ has torn his ACL twice, there is no telling how he will be able to perform. That said, it is easy to see why some teams are reluctant to take the risk. Hopefully, however, we get to see Odell back on the field this season. He is fun to watch and certainly makes the game better. Let us know which team you want to see Odell sign with, in the comments down below.

Colin Kaepernick’s Comments About His Adoptive Parents Draw Strong Reactions From Social Media

by

Colin Kaepernick is someone who has been through a whole lot over the years. Overall, he was blackballed from the NFL due to his various protests. Many misinterpreted what he was trying to do, as did the NFL owners. Although the league admitted it acted hastily against him Kap still hasn’t been able to return to the league. It is a disappointing situation that has some fans looking at the NFL a certain way.

Thankfully, Kap has been able to accomplish a lot off the field. Furthermore, he is coming out with a new graphic novel called Colin Kaepernick: Change The Game. While writing the novel, Kaepernick spoke about his parents and some of the problematic behaviors they had. This included how they reacted to certain hairstyles. “I know my parents loved me, but there were still very problematic things that I went through. I think it was important to show, ‘No, this can happen in your own home.’ And how do we move forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated,” Kaepernick said. “There were a lot more Black people in football. I was like, ‘Oh, I found some community here.’”

Colin Kaepernick Speaks

Due to these comments, Colin Kaepernick was immediately subjected to a whole lot of hate and vitriol. Subsequently, the words “Ungrateful POS” began to trend as conservatives scolded him for not appreciating his adoptive parents. Of course, that wasn’t what Kap was trying to do, however, the hate brigade picked up on it right away. Thankfully, there were plenty of people who understood exactly what Kaepernick was trying to get across. “I know that most reactions to Colin Kaepernick these days are simply a way to show what political team one is on, but if you haven’t experienced transracial adoption, you might want to sit this one out and listen for a minute. It’s more complicated than you imagine,” one user wrote.

“There are so many Black people who have had these experiences with adoptive parents. Including biracial children with their own parents. I love that Colin Kaepernick spoke about this,” another person explained. Clearly, a lot of people misinterpreted what Kaepernick meant, but that is par for the course. The right has always hated Kap, and that will not change. Hopefully, the former NFL star doesn’t pay too much attention to all of this noise.

Tom Brady To Miami Rumors Continue To Gain Traction

by

Tom Brady is the greatest player in the history of the entire NFL. Overall, he was able to win seven Super Bowls. Six of these were with the New England Patriots, and one was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he struggled in his final season with the Bucs, there is this sense that he could still very much play in the NFL. After all, there are plenty of quarterbacks who are in the league right now that suck.

There has particularly been one rumor involving Brady and the Miami Dolphins. Of course, Brady has made it clear that he has retired from the game of football. However, these rumors concerning the Dolphins are persisting. Brady has been tied to the South Florida team for quite some time now, and that seemingly won’t change. Interestingly enough, Brady replied to these rumors earlier in the week, saying that he has a kitten now, and will not be going back to the field. Despite these public statements, there are some people out there who are still pushing the narrative that TB12 will return.

Tom Brady To The Dolphins?

According to former quarterback turned broadcast Scott Zolak, Brady is definitely considering the Dolphins. “Brady may go to Miami. I think that’s in play. I do,” Zolak said. “I think the possibility of him coming out of retirement is definitely 100 percent in play. You can sit there and look at the kitten tweet. Don’t buy that.” These are some interesting comments, although it is hard to believe that Brady would unretire for a second time. At a certain point, the legendary quarterback needs to be decisive. If he were to come back, it would be a collective eye-roll for the entire NFL fanbase.

Needless to say, the NFL offseason is going to continue to be very interesting. Quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers are also in the midst of making big decisions that can shake up the league. If Brady does decide to come back, then the AFC East could be a major story. This is especially true since Rodgers is in discussions with the New York Jets. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the NFL world.

Michael Irvin Alleged Hotel Footage Surfaces On Social Media: Watch

by

Michael Irvin is currently in a very intense legal battle. Overall, this is stemming from allegations that were made against him by a hotel worker in Arizona. Irvin was working at the Super Bowl at the time, although he was fired by the NFL Network after they were made aware of the allegations. According to reports, the Marriott hotel was the one to contact the NFL Network. Interestingly enough, the nature of these allegations is still unknown. At this time, his accuser has not specified what kind of misconduct Irvin allegedly engaged in.

Subsequently, Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the Marriott and his accuser. Moreover, on Wednesday, he and his lawyer held a press conference to discuss the case. During this press conference, Irvin’s layer revealed that the footage from the hotel displays no signs of misconduct. Furthermore, two witnesses called in via Zoom to explain how Irvin is innocent. Now, alleged footage from the hotel has popped up on social media. Down below, you can see Irvin speaking to a couple of women with a drink in his hand. Everyone seems to be laughing, and while you can barely make out a word, there don’t seem to be any issues.

Michael Irvin Video

However, it is unclear as to whether or not this is footage from the exact moment Irvin is being accused of. Either way, many fans are demanding answers, as they feel like Irvin is being treated unfairly due to the color of his skin. This is something that Irvin spoke about yesterday. “This takes me back to a time where a white woman would accuse a Black man of something and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law, run in the barn, put a rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hang him by the tree,” Irvin explained during the press conference.

There are still plenty of details that need to be revealed about all of this. Everyone just wants answers, and the Marriott seems very reluctant to give them. Hopefully, we can all get some clarity on this situation soon. Let us know what you think of these developments, in the comments down below.

Stephen A. Smith Claims Lamar Jackson Situation Exposes NFL Collusion

by

Stephen A. Smith has always been a big fan of Lamar Jackson. Overall, there isn’t much to dislike about Jackson. He is a quarterback who can pass the ball well, and he runs better than any other QB we have ever seen. However, he has struggled with injuries, and that is exactly why the Ravens will not offer him a huge contract. Over these past couple of years, the Ravens and Jackson have been in a stalemate as it pertains to contract talks. Consequently, the Ravens hit him with the non-exclusive franchise tag yesterday.

This is a very unique situation as any team can sign Jackson to an offer sheet. Subsequently, the Ravens have to either match the offer and keep Lamar or let him walk for two first-round picks. Shockingly, there isn’t a single team looking to make an offer. Instead, numerous teams without a quarterback have come out and said that they will not pursue the former MVP. This has many screaming “collusion,” and today on First Take, Stephen A. spoke about those allegations.

Stephen A. Talks Collusion

While speaking to Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, Stephen A. made the point that the non-exclusive franchise tag is a clause “built on collusion.” Meaning, it is a great way for teams to teach players a lesson in asking for more money than they are worth. The owners effectively win because they get to keep their best players for low prices. Moreover, the other owners benefit because now, the price for quarterbacks has dropped significantly. For example, if Jackson doesn’t get an offer sheet, he will make $32 million next year, instead of the $40 million that guys like Daniel Jones are getting. It feels like the owners are breaking the rules, although the rules are quite literally drawn up this way.

For Jackson, this is going to be a difficult few weeks. If he remains in Baltimore on this one-year bridge deal, then he will likely have to negotiate a weaker contract for himself. It is the harsh reality of the NFL, and it sucks that Jackson had to be the one to experience this. As for the Ravens, they feel very good about their decision. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Michael Irvin Breaks Down In Tears While Speaking On Hotel Case

by

Just a few weeks ago, Michael Irvin was accused of misconduct while working the Super Bowl in Arizona. According to reports, Irvin was speaking to a woman at the Marriott, who subsequently accused him of misconduct. Overall, the story has become extremely confusing as the women’s complaints have not been made public. There are no specific complaints against Irvin, and he has since filed a significant lawsuit against his accuser and the Marriott where the alleged incident took place.

Furthermore, his lawyers were able to win a motion to have the Marriott fork over the footage of the alleged incident. According to TMZ, Levi McCathern, Irvin’s attorney, has seen the footage and strongly believes that it proves his client’s innocence. Although the footage is not public right now, McCathern gave reporters an account of what happened. As he explains, Irvin and the woman were very cordial, with the two shaking hands at the beginning and end of the exchange. Ultimately, this just makes the allegations against Irvin that much more confusing.

Michael Irvin Speaks

During today’s press conference, Irvin got to speak on the matter. At this time, he has yet to see the footage of what transpired. However, he did make a very strong statement about the allegations. He likened it to extremely racist acts that used to take place in the American South. “This takes me back to a time where a white woman would accuse a Black man of something and they would take a bunch of guys that were above the law, run in the barn, put a rope around his foot and drag him through the mud and hang him by the tree,” Irvin said.

Moreover, McCathern also had two witnesses call in over Zoom. These witnesses made it clear that Irvin did nothing wrong. At this time, McCathern is trying to file a motion to make the hotel lobby footage public. Whether or not that motion is successful, remains to be seen. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates. Additionally, let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments down below.

Aaron Rodgers’ Mostly Likely Landing Spot Revealed

by

Aaron Rodgers is currently one of the biggest stories in the NFL right now. Although Lamar Jackson is currently in the midst of a franchise tag situation, Rodgers remains the bigger draw. This is due to the fact that he has returned from his darkness retreat and is looking to make the biggest decision of his career. Overall, there are reports circulating that the Packers are sick of Rodgers’ antics. He leaves them in the dark almost every single offseason, and for the most part, they are sick of it.

Subsequently, it has been rumored that the Packers are fine with trading Rodgers. They have Jordan Love to take over, however, there is no guarantee he works out. Regardless, teams are circling the wagon as they know that Rodgers could be made available. In fact, it was revealed yesterday that the New York Jets were flying out to meet with Rodgers. The Packers quarterback accepted a meeting with the team, which just goes to show how serious Rodgers is about potentially moving on from Lambeau.

Aaron Rodgers Moving On?

While appearing on Get Up! this morning, NFL insider Adam Schefter offered some updates on the Rodgers situation. Overall, New York Jets fans should be feeling really good right now. From Schefter’s perspective, the Jets are option “1A” for Rodgers. However, this also means that remaining with the Packers is still a possibility. Albeit a less likely one since Rodgers is already talking to other franchises. Additionally, there is potential for Rodgers to just retire altogether. Perhaps if he does that, he can save us from yet another season of tedious Rodgers rumors.

There is a sense that other teams could be looking into Rodgers right now. Teams like the Raiders need a quarterback right now. Moreover, there are plenty of other teams out there who could use an upgrade like Rodgers. Of course, he will cost a pretty penny, but that’s what it takes to win these days. Let us know where you think Rodgers is going to end up, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.
