Aaron Rodgers is heading to the Jets, but will it work?
The long national nightmare is over.
We know where Aaron Rodgers will be playing quarterback next season.
Weeks of speculation drew to a close on Monday when it was announced that the New York Jets and the Green Bay Packers came to agreement on a trade package involving the four-time NFL MVP.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to announce the trade:

The NFL has announced 37 compensatory selections, and here is the full draft order
The full order for the 2023 NFL draft is now set.
This week the NFL awarded compensatory selections for the 2023 NFL Draft to 16 different teams. In total, 37 compensatory picks were awarded. Compensatory picks are awarded to teams that lost key free agents during the previous offseason. Those picks are awarded “based on salary, playing time, and postseason honors” according to the league.

Following months of speculation, the Packers and Jets have reportedly agreed to a trade that will send Aaron Rodgers to New York.

Of the countless names that hit the transfer portal this offseason, Bear Alexander may have been the biggest. Both literally and physically.
Alexander, born Keithian Deshun, got his nickname because he stands 6-foot-3, 305 pounds. The former four-star defensive line recruit hails from Texas but finished his high school career at IMG Academy before choosing to play for Georgia over 28 other offers from Alabama, Miami, Auburn and Baylor, among others.

Alexander initially committed to Texas A&M, but later flipped and committed to Kirby Smart.

One of the most popular topics of draft season this year has been the emergence of the S2 Cognition Test, a relatively new exam that prospects take to measure decision-making.
Last week, longtime NFL reporter Bob McGinn published what he believed to be scores for this year’s quarterback class. According to the report, of the consensus top five quarterbacks, Bryce Young scored a 98, Will Levis got a 96, Anthony Richardson received a 79, Hendon Hooker scored a 46 and CJ Stroud totaled an 18.

Kings guard De’Aaron Fox broke the index finger on his shooting hand in the team’s loss to the Warriors on Sunday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

A trip to Sunday’s New York Knicks-Clevland Cavaliers NBA playoff game at Madison Square Garden may have left new St. John’s basketball coach Rick Pitino in need of a new phone number.
During a stoppage of play, Pitino was featured during an ABC compilation of celebrities in attendance along with stars like Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan and Jon Stewart. When the camera panned to Pitino, the former Knicks coach was seen telling someone his phone number. Fans on social media quickly read Pitino’s lips and apparently flooded Pitino’s phone with messages.

Yeeesh Jerry.
