Rodgers captioned the post, “Another bonding week #fam.”
Ian O’Connor, the author of “Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,” revealed on X that Rodgers and his family had been working towards reconciliation for a while.
Rodgers’ parents were in attendance for his induction into Pleasant Valley High School Hall of Fame in April.
“Rodgers invited parents Ed & Darla to his Pleasant Valley High...

When we looked at the Cleveland Browns depth charts, there is a lot of young talent to be found. Unfortunately, the team also lacks the type of veteran, top-level talent needed to be talked about among NFL playoff contenders. The cornerback room is an interesting one with two quality starters, Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell, followed by a lot of question marks.
Just days ago, our projected first six corners looked like this:
Starter – Denzel Ward
Starter – Tyson Campbell
CB3 – Myles Bryant
CB4 – Myles Harden
CB5 – Dom Jones
CB6 – Michael Coats Jr.

Despite being paid like an upper-echelon receiver, DK Metcalf isn’t heading into this upcoming season considered one. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ No. 1 wideout had a down year by his own standards during his first go-round in black and gold.
Steve Smith Sr., who enjoyed a 16-year career spent with the Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens, recently defended Metcalf, the Steelers’ leader in receiving yards (850) and touchdown grabs (six) last season.
“DK Metcalf is not the problem,” Smith said Friday. “He can ball. However, he cannot throw the ball to himself. You’ve gotta remember, this is a team, too, they...

We’re getting close to the end of the regular season in Silver and Black Pride’s Mendoza Mania series, diving into new Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s Week 12 matchup against Wisconsin.
Indiana cruised to a 31-7 victory in this one, thanks to one of the best stat lines the Heisman Trophy winner had during the 2025 campaign, completing 22 of 24 passing attempts (91.7%) for 299 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions.
While Mendoza had a handful of impressive throws against the Badgers, including a pair of “big-time throws” according to Pro Football Focus, how he handled working...

Three members of the New England Patriots are set to begin training camp on the sidelines.
Edge defender Harold Landry and tight end C.J. Dippre were both placed on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) on Tuesday, with running back Terrell Jennings moving to the non-football injury/illness list (NFI). Despite those designations, all three remain on the Patriots’ active 90-man roster.
What those labels do show, however, is that the trio is not yet able to participate in practice. Once their statuses change, they can come off the respective lists at any point and immediately join their teammates on...

NFL Trade Rumors
It appears that L.A. Rams’ receivers Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield will have some serious competition for Sean McVay’s number three spot, because rookie C.J. Daniels has traits that make him one of the most intriguing players to watch in training camp this year.
Although he was only the 197th pick in the draft, Daniels shares a couple of traits in common with the Rams’ two biggest stars at the position: Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
Even if Daniels doesn’t become an NFL superstar like those two, Les Snead clearly traded a few late picks to move up for him...

Bill LT Dion Dawkins made a note on social media of his weight heading into the season, saying he will be the lightest he has been since entering the league.
“I’ll play the lightest I’ve ever played the game this season, since my rookie year. I’ve been walking, boxing, training, getting this weight off, man, cause they’re trying to tell me that I ain’t Top 10,” Dawkins said to NFL Network. *“Every year, you put your body through different things, and I chose to put my body through a different thing. This year, I got goals, and I...
