Cam Newton Willing To Take Backup Role In NFL Return

by

Cam Newton has been vocal about returning to the NFL. The former league MVP believes that he can still be a valuable piece to a team in search of a QB. Recently the former pride of Auburn discussed how he can fit onto an NFL roster. Even saying that he is willing to be a backup to certain starting QBs. However, Newton didn’t rule out wanting to be a starting QB again. In his discussion on his playing future, Newton mentioned there are not 32 QBs better than him.

That statement could be hard to argue with the former MVP. But when Newton was last seen in the league, he wasn’t having a memorable run. Newton last appeared in the league with the Carolina Panthers. The franchise that he helped build into a winner once upon a time. However, 2021 was a different time. Newton appeared in only eight games for the Panthers that season. Starting in just five of those appearances. Injuries can be to blame for slowing down the former Heisman winner. However, Newton believes he can still play at an elite level.

Cam Newton Lists QBs He Would Backup For

While Newton believes in his talents, he understands that some teams don’t. Which is why he understands coming in as a backup. Newton mentioned a few names that he would be okay with backing up. That list includes Deshaun Watson, Sam Howell, Malik Willis, Justin Fields, Tua, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Aaron Rodgers. Newton even mentioned being a mentor to future QBs in the league. His list of names was long. Which could mean that Newton is chomping at the bit to rejoin the league.

Taking the chance on Newton being a starting QB would seem like a risk. However, having the former number-one overall pick as a backup could be appealing. Newton is a proven winner with a lot of knowledge of the game. If he wants to be a backup as he claims, then it couldn’t hurt a team to bring Newton in for a tryout. Having a veteran like Newton teaching a young QB could do wonders for a franchise looking toward the future. Do you believe Newton is serious about being a backup?

Tyreek Hill Has A Retirement Date Set

by

Tyreek Hill has been one of the more amazing talents of his generation. With some of the greatest speed, the NFL has ever seen. Hill was one half of a dominant duo in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes. Now the speedy receiver calls Miami home. Hill joined the Dolphins last season and continued to be a down-the-field threat. However, Hill now is starting to plan his future without football. The Pro Bowl receiver gave an honest answer about his potential retirement plans.

In a recent interview with Sports Radio 810 WHB, Hill discussed just how long he wanted to go. “I’m going for 10, man,” Hill said. “I’m gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then I’m gonna call it quits. I want to go into the business side. I want to do so many things in my life, bro.” It seems as if Hill wants to do more with his life than play football. With so many athletes playing too long, it’s refreshing to see a take like this. However, Hill has big plans for his future on the field plans as well. Including a meeting with Kansas City.

Tyreek Hill Ready For Meeting With The Chiefs

When the topic came up about Hill’s former team, he didn’t hold back. “Guess what we gonna do? I hate to say it, man. I hate to throw up the peace sign against y’all. I hate to do it! But guess what? I’m gonna be y’all worst enemy that day. I’m gonna be y’all worst enemy that day.” Hill will be treating his former team just like any other opponent. The Dolphins-Chiefs matchup will be a can’t miss game this upcoming season.

Hill will be one of the rare players to walk away from the game early. Fans have seen it recently with Rob Gronkowski, as well as Calvin Johnson. Walking away from the game while still physically healthy takes a strong mind. These players give their all every season. They should be able to enjoy the rewards that come with playing in the league. However, we’ll check back into Hill’s statements in 2025.

Richard Sherman Claims Seattle Almost Ruined Wagner Deal

by

Richard Sherman isn’t afraid to grab the mic. The former Seattle Seahawk recently had a few things to say about his former team. Sherman discussed the team’s handling of bringing back Bobby Wagner to Seattle. Wagner, like Sherman, was a staple of a Seahawks defense that will go down as one of the greatest groups of all time. However, Sherman claims that the reunion of Wagner and the Seahawks almost didn’t happen.

In an interview with The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar, Sherman spoke on about his knowledge of the situation. “I was hoping that John [Schneider] didn’t mess it up, and he didn’t,” Sherman said. Sherman was hoping the Seattle GM didn’t “lowball” Wagner during discussions of his return. Sherman went on to say, “There’s a difference between lowballing and being disrespectful and they got borderline disrespectful. Thankfully, Bobby really wanted to be with the Seahawks, and he really wanted to come back home. Because other people offered him more money.” It does feel a little out of place for Sherman to be discussing contract details on a team he doesn’t work for.

Richard Sherman Glad To See Wagner Back In Seattle

Luckily for Seattle, Wagner and the organization worked out a deal. Sherman seems to be just looking out for a former teammate. The two shared many great seasons in Seattle. Including a Super Bowl ring and another Super Bowl appearance. In their tenure, the Seattle defense was known as “The Legion Of Boom.” A moniker that was well deserved by the fearsome unit. Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner will forever be known as two greats to play their respective position.

It seems all is going right in Seattle at the moment. The team surprised everyone last season by sneaking into the playoffs during a supposed rebuild year. The rebuild seems to be on hold for the moment. The team recently re-signed starting QB Geno Smith, who excelled in 2022. Bobby Wagner’s return isn’t just for a retirement tour. But a chance to help this team build off of an incredible 2022. For the latest news inside the NFL, stay locked in with us here at HNHH.

John Elway No Longer With Denver Broncos

by

It appears that John Elway is no longer employed by the Denver Broncos. The Broncos legend announced that the team’s new ownership did not renew his contract. Elway has been a part of the Broncos franchise since his playing days. The news that ownership has decided to go another direction is somewhat shocking. However, Elway understands the business side of things. As a member of the Broncos staff, he helped the team land Peyton Manning. A move that resulted in the franchise’s third championship.

In an interview with 9News in Denver, Elway spoke about his recent departure. “I’ve enjoyed the relationship with the Broncos for a long, long time,” Elway stated. “I told Greg I’d be happy to be a resource for him and help in any way that I can. I just wanted the flexibility. They’re in great hands. I still plan on being around to watch and be a resource for Greg or George, if I can.” It is hard to imagine the Denver Broncos franchise without John Elway.

John Elway Happy With Results While In Denver

Elway’s playing career was just as successful as his time in the front office. In Elway’s final two years as the team’s QB, the Broncos won back-to-back Super Bowls. The games were iconic and the perfect example of a player’s perseverance. Elway has only been with the Broncos throughout his entire 28-year career. Being a part of one franchise for so many years is the definition of loyalty and success. However, Elway doesn’t completely close the door to rejoining the team at a later time.

The Broncos’ move to drop Elway is sending shockwaves through the league. New ownership is making a move that could ruffle feathers within the organization. However, Denver has been in need of a shake-up. The team has been getting raked over the coals with the recent addition of Russell Wilson. The former Seahawks QB was a shell of himself in the 2022 regular season. The Broncos moved a lot of future pieces to add the Super Bowl-winning QB. A move that could haunt the team later on down the road. For the latest news involving the NFL, stay locked in here at HNHH.

Former Jets QB Shoots Down Latest Aaron Rodgers Rumor

by

Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets feels like a done deal. Rodgers has recently admitted that he intends to be with the team this upcoming season. However, with the delay, there are some wondering if other teams would be interested. On Tuesday, rumors were reported that the San Francisco 49ers were now in the mix for Rodgers. Now it feels like that report is beginning to lose steam. For one former Jets QB, he doesn’t believe Rodgers ends up anywhere but New York.

Boomer Esiason, who spent a few years in New York, still believes the Jets are the landing spot. On his hit radio show, Boomer & Gio, Esiason gave his thoughts on the recent 49ers rumors. “That’s just not the way you want to conduct business — especially when you get an owner involved. [Woody Johnson] has got to get on his plane… and go talk to Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers says he only wants to play for the Jets.” Esiason believes the motion has already been placed for the Jets to receive Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers Will Be With The Jets Next Season

The idea of the Jets adding Rodgers has had fans in a frenzy. Jets fans are constantly looking for updates on the potential move. It seems as if compensation is the hold between the Packers and Jets. Green Bay can string this deal along until the Jets sweat a little. However, it seems as though the Jets are just waiting on word from Green Bay. The Packers-Aaron Rodgers relationship ended in a free fall. Rodgers has been frustrated with the organization in recent years regarding the draft and free agency.

The worst-kept secret in the league is still holding fans on edge. That is why reports of a new team entering the mix brought out many emotions. Seeing Rodgers in another uniform will take the entire league time to get used to. The situation mirrors the same predicament the Packers faced with the QB prior to Rodgers, in Brett Favre. Will the move make the Jets one of the favorites for next year’s Super Bowl? Or will the deal end up hurting both teams? Let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comment section below. To stay updated on the latest in the Aaron Rodgers saga, keep it right here with HNHH.

Shannon Sharpe Demands Patriots Help Mac Jones

by

Shannon Sharpe has very strong words for the New England Patriots. Rumors recently began circulating that the team is shopping starting QB Mac Jones. The report is huge news for the entire league. The Patriots have yet to find a replacement for Tom Brady. But it will be hard for any team to fill the shoes of such a talented player. However, Sharpe doesn’t believe talent is the issue with Jones. In fact, the co-host of Undisputed mentions that a coaching failure could be to blame.

Sharpe’s comments on bad coaching are not off-based. The Patriots threw together an offensive staff last season. Including a defensive-minded coach in Matt Patricia calling the plays. The Hall-of-Fame tight end believes Jones should welcome a change. If the Patriots are unwilling to give him the tools to succeed, greener pastures could be necessary. The Patriots had an abysmal 2022 that included a down year for Jones.

Shannon Sharpe Lays Blame At New England Coaching

The coaching decisions by Bill Belichick could absolutely be the reason for the team’s 2022 failure. In 2021, with a competent offensive staff, the Patriots went 10-7, earning a playoff spot. Jones became a bright spot for a team desperate to see great QB play again. Now with the recent reports, the Patriots may be looking to start over at the position. The decision will ultimately come down to Belichick, who is the start and stopping point with the franchise.

Shannon Sharpe has been a part of successful franchises. The former star has the hardware to prove it. However, does Mac Jones feel the same way? On his draft night, Jones felt slighted when he fell to the Patriots. So the former Alabama QB has been out to prove the critics wrong since day one. But, with reports of the team having low confidence in the QB, would he even want to play in New England? The Patriots have been the vocal point of the NFL for nearly 30 years. Now it seems as if the team has lost a step in its quest for dominance. For the latest NFL news, stay locked in here at HNHH.

Aaron Rodgers Rumors: A New Team Could Be Pursuing The QB

by

Aaron Rodgers has made his 2023 season demands clear. The veteran QB would like to become a member of the New York Jets. As Rodgers’s current team, the Packers, continue working with the Jets on a deal. Another team may soon enter the Rodgers sweepstakes. It is being reported that the San Francisco 49ers are rumored to be interested in adding the former MVP. If these reports are true, this would be a welcomed surprise to Rodgers. As the former California native always said, his favorite team growing up was the 49ers.

Craig Carton of The Carton Show claims the 49ers are ready to pursue Rodgers. This news comes as a big surprise since everyone believes Rodgers is bound for New York. However, the rumor would make sense. The 49ers have moved on from starting QB Jimmy Garrappolo. While the team states they have faith in Brock Purdy, the opportunity to land Rodgers has to be tempting. The 49ers have seemingly been a QB away from earning that long-awaited return to being a Super Bowl champion. Rodgers could be the potential move to make the dream a reality.

Would Aaron Rodgers Be Interested In San Francisco?

While the idea of Aaron Rodgers going to San Francisco may sound good. You must remember that any Rodgers move involves the Packers having the final say. Green Bay must be willing to trade Rodgers to his next home. It is highly unlikely that the Packers would want to see Rodgers stay in the NFC. However, the hold-up between the Packers and Jets striking a deal has been the return for Green Bay. If San Francisco offered the right pieces, maybe Green Bay would rethink its strategy.

A Rodgers-49ers union seems like a great way for the future Hall-of-Famer to finish his career. Getting to play for his childhood team would be something dreams are made of. However, I wouldn’t be ready to ship the happy couple at the moment. It still feels as if the Jets are going to be the landing spot for Rodgers. But don’t count out the Packers taking the best offer on the table. For more of the latest NFL news, stay with us here at HNHH.

Mac Jones Hit With Surprising Predicament

by

The New England Patriots have been the greatest NFL franchise of the last 25 years. The organization has six Super Bowl victories in that span. Which is the most any single team has in the league. During this run, the Patriots have been led by one man. That man is head coach Bill Belichick. Belichick is known for his no-nonsense approach to the game. The “Patriot Way” is often how Belichick’s style of coaching is described by his current and former players.

One thing that has made the Patriots so successful during this period has been Belichick’s decision-making. Belichick isn’t afraid of making tough decisions. For instance, benching a Pro Bowl QB like Drew Bledsoe for an unproven backup in Tom Brady was a good call. Now it seems like Belichick could be looking for a change at QB again. According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, the Patriots have been listening to offers on starting QB Mac Jones.

Is Mac Jones Being Replaced?

Jones hasn’t been the player New England had hoped for when they drafted him in the first round back in 2021. However, the former Alabama QB has been a part of a tough rebuild with the Patriots. After Brady’s departure in 2020, the New England Patriots have yet to find their footing. The team hasn’t been to the playoffs since Brady took his talents to Tampa Bay. A franchise that is used to playing in deep January is now reconsidering just how to get there.

Jones may not be the answer in New England. However, the team doesn’t believe that former league MVP Lamar Jackson is either. The Patriots reportedly dropped out of the Jackson sweepstakes last week. But with today’s news, one has to wonder if the Patriots may soon re-enter discussions for the Baltimore QB. What do you believe the Patriots will do at QB? Does Mac Jones start the season in New England? If not Mac, then who will line up under center for Belichick? Let us hear your predictions in the comment section below. For the latest on the Patriots QB decisions, keep it here at HNHH.

Stefon Diggs Tweets About Trade With One Potential Team

by

Stefon Diggs’ time with the Buffalo Bills looks to be reaching its end. The Buffalo receiver has seemingly let everyone know his thoughts on where he would like to be in the future. In Diggs’ last game with the Bills, he was visibly upset at the direction the offense was going. Videos of Diggs and Bills QB Josh Allen circulated on social media after the team’s loss to the Bengals in the playoffs. Now it seems as if Diggs is looking for a fresh start. A fresh start that still has him in the state of New York. But with a team that exemplifies the big city lifestyle.

Last Friday, Diggs tweeted, “Comeeeeee anddddd rescue me…” Which had NFL Twitter speculating that the Buffalo receiver is looking for a new home. Diggs has been no stranger to voicing his frustrations in Buffalo. The team can’t seem to get over the AFC Title game hump. The Bills franchise has long been known for not being able to win the big game. The team achieved four straight Super Bowl appearances in the 90s. Coming up short in each game.

Will Stefon Diggs Be Suiting Up For Another Team?

In addition to Diggs’ cryptic tweet, Dallas defensive standout Trevon Diggs replied. Trevon, who is the brother of Stefon, mentioned the two could play each other twice a year. Trevon’s comments could only mean one thing. That being that, the elder Diggs is interested in joining the NFC East. However, which of the three NFC Est options would be viable to Diggs? The New York Giants are in the market for a top receiver. A move to another New York team seems like the most likely landing spot.

Only time will tell if Diggs will be on another roster before the start of the 2023 season. While Buffalo would like to keep Diggs, the team may not have a choice. Keeping a disgruntled player will only create tension inside the locker room. Buffalo still believes they are a top contender in the AFC. Losing Stefon Diggs would be a massive blow to the franchise. Will Diggs be in a different uniform next season? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below. For the latest happenings in the NFL, stay here at HNHH.

Aaron Rodgers Potential Trade Deadline Revealed

by

It’s no secret that Aaron Rodgers is ready to move on from Green Bay. The Packers quarterback has stated his intentions to play for the New York Jets this coming season. While it seems both sides are ready to move on, nothing has yet to materialize. The season is still a few months away. However, it feels as if everyone involved is becoming impatient with the situation. The Jets and Packers would like to have their quarterback rooms ready before training camp. Nonetheless, the Packers could be letting this sit just out of spite.

The marriage between the Packers and Rodgers has been on the rocks for some time. Rodgers has had complaints about the team not drafting receivers early in the draft. Whereas the Packers have been frustrated with Rodgers’ recent playoff performances. Additionally, with the recent selection of QB Jordan Love, it feels the Packers have been ready to move on. While there seem to be a few moving parts before a deal can be set in stone. NBC Sports Peter King believes we finally have a date for the Rodgers-Packers finale.

Aaron Rodgers Heading To New York Is Inevitable

King is reporting what he believes will be the time frame fans will finally see the big deal be done. “I think the over/under date for the Aaron Rodgers trade is early evening April 28,” King wrote. “That’s when the second round of the NFL Draft begins. That’s when the first of likely two or three draft choices to be exchanged would happen. The Jets have the 11th and 12th picks in round two, 42nd and 43rd overall, and I’d bet one of those picks will be the key to this trade getting done.”

It looks as if fans will have to wait until the NFL Draft to see Rodgers in New York. The Packers have the opportunity to hold out for more draft capital. A great business decision for a team looking to rebuild. The Packers will more than likely be handing the offense over to an unproven Jordan Love. Just as they did a few years back for a quarterback named Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers’s time in Green Bay has come full circle. Now we wait to see another legendary Packers QB in a Jets uniform. Do you think the deal will go down during the draft? Should the Packers wait and see if New York becomes desperate? Sound off in the comment section below.
